Looking at this page: http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ The link for "BSD-2-clause" is to: http://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause That text looks quite similar to the license text above, so I would recommend 'License: BSD-2-clause'. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
