The modified BSD license. (Note: on the preceding link, the modified BSD license is listed in the "General" section.)
This is the original BSD license, modified by removal of the advertising clause. It is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software
license with no particular problem. It is compatible with the GNU GPL.

The original BSD license. (Note: on the preceding link, the original BSD license is listed in the "UCB/LBL" section.)
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.
We urge you not to use the original BSD license for software you write. However, there is no reason not to use programs that have been
released under the BSD license.
