This is the original UCB ad-clause:
<citation>
3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
must display the following acknowledgement:
This product includes software developed by the University of
California, Berkeley and its contributors.
</citation>
Note: "ADVERTISING materials ... or USE ..."
The FSF notes about this (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html):
"Initially the obnoxious BSD advertising clause was used only in the
Berkeley Software Distribution. That did not cause any particular
problem, because including one sentence in an ad is not a great
practical difficulty."
So, I agree with Tom. The DXHDF5 license to me is a variant of the BSD
licence.
