Right.
That license sounds pretty good to me, isn't there an OSI one that does
just just this?

IMHO you can't. Although Allegro is practically public domain, it
isn't public domain formally, as AFAIK making something public domain
means to give up copyright, which no-one Allegro author did.
What about some Allegro specific formal licence, e.g.:
