The primary motivation for this change is that the disclaimer now
refers to the author whereas it used to refer to the copyright holder.
The ISC license is the preferred license for new code in OpenBSD.

I am also removing the reference to "the same terms as Perl itself"
because those terms are not being distributed with ELinks. Anyway,
Perl 5 is dual licensed under the Artistic License and the GNU General
Public License (version 1 or later), and the ISC license seems GPL
compatible to me.
