The BSD License
The following is a BSD 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: The advertising clause in the license appearing on BSD Unix
files was officially
rescinded by the Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of
the University of California on July 22 1999. He states that clause 3 is
"hereby deleted in its entirety."
Note the new BSD license is thus equivalent to the MIT License, except for the no-endorsement
final clause.
<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".
