Very permissive open source license, not an official license but rather a number of versions that seek to cut down the BSD licence to the bare minimum and be functionally the same as placing the in the public domain, while still retaining copyright. See also: Two Clause BSD Licence, Three Clause BSD Licence, Four Clause BSD Licence, MIT Licence and ISC Licence.
