This license variant looks like BSD, but is an unrestricted permission grant that doesn't require you to copy specific license text into derivative works. (The second paragraph is about something we DON'T do, I.E. provide any sort of warantee, and is just boilerplate from BSD to make it look like a BSD license.) diff -r 310165c2f451 -r fa1a3b9eed6f www/license.html --- a/www/license.html Tue Jun 24 06:42:08 2014 -0500 +++ b/www/license.html Tue Jun 24 07:00:13 2014 -0500 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ Toybox License -
