That is the MIT license, category-b [1]. However that doesn't matter: If 
all creators (in this case just Claudio Andreoni - as it seems) want to 
contribute it
then that shouldn't be a problem. For example: Mustella has not been 
open-sourced and will most likely be contributed. It will need a license 
change in
that process.
