A bit later in the same paragraph it says:

```
All licenses certified by the Open Source Initiative at opensource.org
as of January 9, 2013 and all Creative Commons licenses identified on
the creativecommons.org website as of January 9, 2013, including the
Public License Fallback of the CC0 waiver, satisfy these requirements
for the purposes of this license.
```

OSI licenses include BSD, MIT et cetera: http://opensource.org/licenses

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to push this block cipher mode for
OpenPGP, I'm just commenting because I've worked on a TLS related draft
for OCB mode. IANAL.
