I'm not aware of what koumbit does, so I don't know the context.

Here are some suggestions for improvement with a broader context in
mind:

The idea behind using 'free license' instead of free software license
is because not free licenses are meant for software. For instance
there are free licenses for databases, physical objects etc.

The last part covers cases where you are free to use whatever license
you want in some areas of the code. For instance Nuttx (an operating
system for microcontrollers) accepts applications under any free
license whereas patches for the operating system itself have to be in
the same license than the operating system license.
