That grant is already given by
"Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute [...]"
The main purpose of the trio license is to disclaim any warranties, not
to restrict use or distribution.
I agree with Thomas that the main concern isn't licensing issues, but
how to synchronize updates. This problem, however, is minimal, because
trio is currently in a stable state, and we seldomly have a need to
make new releases.
On another topic, there was a question about why trio is dependent on
the math library. The reason is that trio uses several math functions
to handle the floating-point specifiers (%a, %e, %f, %g).
