[jgit-dev] JGit's license starts in the middle of the sentence - should this be fixed?

Hi,

When upgrading [1] NBGit from an age-old version of JGit to a latest
released version I've replaced the previous license with the license for
0.8.4 version [2] and noticed that the first paragraph of the current
JGit's license starts in the middle of the sentence:

So NBGit in the credits section points to the html version of the
license [4] but still includes the original text [3] with a broken first
paragraph.

I'm not sure if this is an issue that must be fixed, but anyway...
