  • Modification
  • Distribution
  • Private use

Typically requires

  • Retain copyright notice and license text

Watch-outs

  • Holding authors liable

How teams usually use it

  1. Good for libraries where you want permissive reuse with minimal ceremony.
  2. Keep the two-clause notice with redistributed source and binaries.
