BSD and MIT (and a handful of others) are basically all the same terms, with slightly different wording.
- zabzonk 4y agowell, the thing about legal documents such as licences is that the devil is in the wording. bsd and mit, to me, seem to have quite different terms.
- mustache_kimono 4y agoCan you explain?
- zabzonk 4y agofor example, some bsd licences have limitations on advertising, and other things. the mit licence is one para that basically says, maintain copyright notices and do what you want.
- loeg 4y ago> some bsd licences have limitations on advertising That's the "4-clause" BSD, which hasn't been very popular (since the 1980s? 90s?). > the mit licence is one para that basically says, maintain copyright notices and do what you want. The 2-clause BSD license is similar in length to the MITL (which is 3 paragraphs) and substantially similar in contents as well.
