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.
