License allow only distribution and explicitly prohibit everything else.

I'm particularly concerned about modification rights that appears to be 
prohibited.

Please investigate.

Also this license is missing from "copyright" file as well as BSL-1.0
license for the following files:
    cmake/modules/CppcheckTargets.cmake
    cmake/modules/Findcppcheck.cmake
    cmake/modules/GetGitRevisionDescription.cmake
    cmake/modules/GetGitRevisionDescription.cmake.in

Also file "share/OpenMS/CHEMISTRY/unimod.xml" refer to "Design Science License"
but I could not find the text of this license anywhere in the package.

Perhaps is is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible
and wrong.
