BSD 3-Clause Clear License is a derivative of
<a href="https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause.html">BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License</a>,
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). I
prefer this license over the BSD 3-Clause "New" or
"Revised" License due to this explicit statement which
removes any possibility of debate and misunderstanding
in regards to patents applied to code using the BSD
3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License.</p>
