Re: License Compatibility: Google vs. Apache
ASF Legal
Requesting a quick clarification from the legal list. It is thought that
the Google license being
a basic BSD is a class one license for Apache.
Can we confirm that we can use the license below (from Google) in an
Apache project.
thanks
Carl.

After a quick reading, it seems that this licence is a BSD licence, so class
A and compatible with the ASF policy
Best,
Marc

Yep - consider that a BSD license rather than a Google license.
Seems to be equivalent to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses.
