"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
documentation for any purpose, without fee, and without a written
agreement is hereby granted, ***provided that the above copyright notice
and this paragraph and the following two paragraphs appear in all
copies***." [my emphasis]

In a book, this would typically appear in the imprint on one of the
