[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (LEGAL-128) [CODEC-133] patch with
University of Texas at Austin copyright
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-128?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13217394#comment-13217394 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------
It's almost like a compressed 3-clause BSD, but it doesn't say anything about derived works. I wonder if that will cause problems, the fact that it's missing the "with or without modification" part from BSD.
BSD says this:
"Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted...."
Whereas this license just says:
"Redistribution and use in source and binary form are permitted..."
