Just saw this at the top of a piece of code:
\* @license OPPL
What on earth is an OPPL license? Google has been uncharacteristically inconclusive. Has anyone come across this beast before, and what are it's main implications?

A:
Probably the Open Project Public License.
According to this header file It's supposed to be available at http://www.nextco.com/licenses/oppl/, but the site doesn't seem to exist anymore (this is why most licenses make you include the license text with the software, rather than referencing an external site). The Internet Archive has an archived copy of the license page at http://web.archive.org/web/20061207005030/http://www.nextco.com/licenses/oppl/ (pasted in whole link because markdown doesn't seem to like links with http in the middle).

It is indeed very likely that the Open Project Public Licence is the licence you are seeking.
This also comes to show how important it is, that if you are really serious about your licencing model, that it is wise to, not only explain what the licence actually means but provide a transcript, or link to the actual licence as well.
