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 It was officially rescinded by the Director of the Office of +Technology Licensing of the University of California on July 22nd, 1999.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: + +Copyright (c) <YEAR>, <OWNER> +All rights reserved. + +Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, +are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: + + Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright notice, this +list of conditions and the following disclaimer. + Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, +this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or +other materials provided with the distribution. + Neither the name of the <ORGANIZATION> nor the names of its contributors may +be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without +specific prior written permission. + +THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND +ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE +DISCLAIMED.
