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.
