OK, yes, that page makes it very confusing. The notes, which I failed to fully read, discuss the deletion of the 3rd clause but they only include the text of the license with all 4 clauses intact. It also includes an FTP URL that no longer works. In any case, both the code in question: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/tiv/-/blame/master/src/tiv.cpp?ref_type=heads#L59 And the original source: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/include/sysexits.h Seem to use the renumbers version of the clause using 1, 2, 3, and not 1, 2, 4 as it present in the changes from debdiff. Both locataions also call out the SPDX identifier as BSD-3-Clause and uses or links to a license text that matches: https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause The license included in the debdiff differs in the clause numbering. -- Loren M.
