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 It was officially rescinded by the Director of the Office of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.

 = Regents of the University of California
 = University of California, Berkeley
 = 1998
