+The BSD 3-Clause License
+[OSI Approved License]
+The BSD 3-Clause License
+
+ The following is a BSD 3-Clause ("BSD New" or "BSD Simplified") license
+template. To generate your own license, change the values of OWNER, ORGANIZATION
+and YEAR from their original values as given here, and substitute your own.
+
+ Note: You may omit clause 3 and still be OSD-conformant. Despite its
+colloquial name "BSD New", this is not the newest version of the BSD license; it
+was followed by the even newer BSD-2-Clause version, sometimes known as the
+"Simplified BSD License". On January 9th, 2008 the OSI Board approved
+BSD-2-Clause, which is used by FreeBSD and others. It omits the final
+"no-endorsement" clause and is thus roughly equivalent to the MIT License.
+
+ Historical Background: The original license used on BSD Unix had four
+clauses. The advertising clause (the third of four clauses) required you to
+acknowledge use of U.C. Berkeley code in your advertising of any product using
+that code. It was officially rescinded by the Director of the Office of
+Technology Licensing of the University of California on July 22nd, 1999. He
+states that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety." The four clause
+license has not been approved by OSI. The license below does not contain the
+advertising clause.
+
+ This prelude is not part of the license.
+
+<OWNER> = Regents of the University of California
+<ORGANIZATION> = University of California, Berkeley
+<YEAR> = 1998
+
+In the original BSD license, both occurrences of the phrase "COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
+AND CONTRIBUTORS" in the disclaimer read "REGENTS AND CONTRIBUTORS".
+
+Here is the license template:
