B.1. The BSD LicenseThe following is a BSD license template. To generate your own license, change the values of OWNER, ORGANIZATION, and YEAR from their original values as given here, and substitute your own. Note: the advertising clause in the license appearing on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of the University of California on July 22, 1999. He states that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety." Note the new BSD license is thus equivalent to the MITLicense, except for the no-endorsement final clause. <OWNER> = Regents of the University of California<ORGANIZATION> = University of California, Berkeley<YEAR> = 1998 In the original BSD license, both occurrences of the phrase "COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS" in the disclaimer read "REGENTS AND CONTRIBUTORS." Here is the license template: Copyright (c) <YEAR>, <OWNER>All rights reserved.
