 You mean the Revised BSD License I presume?


It's a subject to discuss. I am not good at licenses.

The revised (or modified) BSD is the version most commonly used today. 
In my experience, when people say "BSD License" it's the one they are 
usually referring to. This is the version of BSD used for Derelict.

As for the difference, the original BSD included a clause that required 
derived works to acknowledge the original work. The modified version has 
no such requirement. You can read more about it on Wikipedia[1].

I've looked at numerous open source projects over the years which were 
licensed under the BSD. I can't recall the last time I saw one using the 
  original version. IMO, using the modified version is a no-brainer.

Okey, if it is the most suitable license, we can go with it.
