Permissive

BSD 3-Clause License

BSD-style permissive terms plus a non-endorsement clause restricting use of contributor names for promotion.

Compared to common options: Like BSD-2-Clause/MIT, plus an endorsement restriction; still far lighter than GPL.

Generally allows

  • Commercial use
  • Modification
  • Distribution
  • Private use

Typically requires

  • Retain copyright notice and license text

Watch-outs

  • Using contributor names to endorse derived products without permission
  • Holding authors liable

How teams usually use it

  1. Use when you want BSD simplicity plus an endorsement restriction.
  2. Do not imply the original authors sponsor your product unless they agree.
Official & reference sources

Orientation only — not legal advice. Always verify the repository LICENSE file, notices, and dependency terms, and obtain counsel for commercial distribution decisions.
