SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause-Clear
Type: Permissive
BSD 3-Clause Clear is a highly permissive license which allows content licensed under
- it to be used in any way, whether in source or binary form, and allows sublicensing under a
- different license, with the only restrictions being the original copyright notice must be
- kept in order to attribute the original creator of the licensed content, and the name of the
- project and/or its contributors may not be used to endorse or promote products derived from
- the original project.
- BSD 3-Clause Clear is a derivative of BSD 3-Clause, which adds an explicit statement clarifying that patent rights are not
- granted by the license alone, and must be granted separately by the copyright and/or patent
- holder(s). We prefer this license over the standard BSD 3-Clause license due to this
- explicit statement which removes any possibility of debate and misunderstanding in regards
- to patents applied to code using a BSD 3-Clause license.
