Thanks! I was always searching for this license, but I had previously only found The Clear BSD License, the BSD license with a PATENTS-NOT-INCLUDED clause (oops), and the Universal Permissive License, which is a general permissive license WITH a patent clause, but too obscure to inspire confidence among other developers. Now I'm going to recommends BSDplusPatent instead of Apache 2. Simply and clear.

FWIW, Apache2 has other really useful aspects such as being self executing. We looked at options very similar to BSD w/ a patents clause and they ended up being less good on several fronts. Of course, YMMV, this was specifically in the context of LLVM.

  What does "self executing" mean in this context? I assume there is no JIT compiler embedded in the license right ;)
