It looks like a default BSD-3-Clause license: https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause The only difference is that TI wrote "IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT OWNER ..." while opensource.org writes "IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER ...". I don't think that's a relevant difference? RTEMS wants to use 2-Clause-BSD for new code. To be honest: I really have no idea whether the two are compatible.
