Hi, My name is Sergio Belkin I maintain UpTools package. That package has a License that has 4 clauses and because of that I get confused and labeld as "BSD with advertising". But a closer read of "BSD with advertising" at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ#What.27s_the_deal_with_the_BSD_with_advertising_license.3F makes to understand that is the License that we are using is not "BSD with advertising". Anyway I wonder if even that has 4 clauses it's a "BSD" license. I've found that cyrus-sasl has the same license and its license it was as "BSD" but maintainer changed the tag License, surely because of a bug I reported. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679416 But again, seeing more deeply it doesn't seem "BSD with advertising". In short: Please could you tell me if the following License can be tagged as "BSD" i.e. BSD License (no advertising) /* UpTools v8.5 * * Copyright (c) 2005-2011 Fundacion Universidad de Palermo (Argentina). * All rights reserved. * * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions * are met: * * 1.
