FreeBSD License
Extracted from the Wikipedia article BSD licenses.
2-clause license ("Simplified BSD License" or "FreeBSD License")
An even more simplified version has come into use, primarily known for its usage in FreeBSD. It was in use there as early as 29 April 1999 and likely well before. The primary difference between it and the New BSD (3-clause) License is that it omits the non-endorsement clause. The FreeBSD version of the license also adds a further disclaimer about views and opinions expressed in the software, though this is not commonly included by other projects.
