+ Due to this license allowing the original project's name and/or contributors to be used to + endorse or promote products derived from the original project, unless an explicit statement + is made alongside this license, increasing complexity and deviating from the standard + license text, we prefer BSD 3-Clause Clear License; however, MIT License is a great choice when derivatives + using the name of the original project and/or its contributors is a non-issue. +
