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officially rescinded by the Director of the Office of Technology Licensing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".
Here is the license template:
