is a highly permissive
license which allows content licensed under it to be
used in any way, whether in source or binary form, and
allows sublicensing under a different license, with the
only restrictions being the original copyright notice
must be kept in order to attribute the original creator
of the licensed content, and the name of the project
and/or its contributors may not be used to endorse or
promote products derived from the original project.<br>
BSD 3-Clause Clear License is a derivative of
<a href="https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause.html">BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License</a>,
which adds
an explicit statement clarifying that patent rights are
not granted by the license alone, and must be granted
separately by the copyright and/or patent holder(s). We
prefer this license over the BSD 3-Clause "New" or
"Revised" License due to this explicit statement which
removes any possibility of debate and misunderstanding
in regards to patents applied to code using the BSD
3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License.</p>

whether in source or binary form, and allows
sublicensing under a different license, with the only
restriction being the original copyright notice must be
kept in order to attribute the original creator of the

Due to this license allowing the original project's name
and/or contributors to be used to endorse or promote
products derived from the original project, unless an
explicit statement is made alongside this license,
increasing complexity and deviating from the standard
license text, we prefer
<a href="#licensing-bsd-3-clause-clear">BSD 3-Clause Clear License</a>;
however, MIT License is
a great choice when derivatives using the name of the
original project and/or its contributors is a non-issue.</p>

is a strong
copyleft license which restricts use of content licensed
under it by requiring all source code of the content to
be publicly available, making binary-only form and
inclusion of proprietary code impossible, requiring all
derivatives to be licensed under the same license
(allowing sublicensing under only newer GPL licenses if
<code>GPL-2.0-or-later</code> is specified in the SPDX-
License-Identifier), and requiring the original
copyright notice to be kept in order to attribute the
original creator of the licensed content.<br>
Due to the restrictive and invasive nature of this
license, it is avoided unless such restrictions would be
beneficial to Inferencium code; whenever this is the
case, the GNU General Public License v2.0 will be used,
rather than the more restrictive
<a href="#licensing-gpl-3.0">GNU General Public License v3.0</a>,
and relicensing
derivatives under the GNU General Public License v3.0
will be disallowed.</p>
