- 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- officially rescinded by the Director of the Office of Technology Licensing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
