hi, i'm making the package of a library (libevent) which has this license this looks like a derived form of BSD license anyway i don't know if i can put it under bsd license or i have to cut'n paste the license inside the copyright file (anyway it looks debian compatible) . the only difference seem to be point 3 beetween this and BSD Lic. What do you suggest ?
