from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OriginalBSD
(Note: on the preceding link, the original BSD license is listed in the UCB/LBL section.
This license is also sometimes called the “4-clause BSD license”.)
This is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license with a
serious flaw: the “obnoxious BSD advertising clause”. The flaw is not fatal;
that is, it does not render the software non-free. But it does cause practical
problems, including incompatibility with the GNU GPL.
