In light of this I contacted the author of GLUT. This is the only reply I
got:

When I pointed out that there was no explicit allowance to modify (and
showed him the OpenBSD template license) I got no reply. Thanks to
pvalchev, nikolay, and naddy for finding this. I guess this port will
just have to stay marked with "incomplete license" for now. Thanks again.
