Makes the work "Simplified" optional in the Docbook DTD license so that it will match both the full Docbook DTD license and the Simplified Docbook DTD license.

Can you link the source code or the license that uses this variant?

I couldn't find an authorative git archive for a direct link, but it's in this archive: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/sgml/4.1/docbk41.zip in the docbook.dtd file.

Looks like I missed another minor difference, let me fix that...

Makes the work "Simplified" optional in the Docbook DTD license so that
it will match both the full Docbook DTD license and the Simplified
Docbook DTD license.
