using the PSF license for one's code

If one wishes use an OSI-approved license for one's own code, there
are many to choose from, two of which are GPL and the PSF license. If
one chooses GPL, there are explicit instructions at the Gnu Web site
on how to use the license. On the other hand, I have not seen any such
instructions for using the PSF license. Can one simply refer to the
PSF license without making changes? Or is it advisable to make a
revised copy, changing the name of the name of the owner/copyright
holder from PSF to oneself, for example? What else is required?
