The copyright date needs to be confirmed by DHB, but this corresponds to the publication date of the corresponding paper: https://doi.org/10.1145/212066.212075

Everything up to this point is just the BSD-3 license (https://opensource.org/license/bsd-3-clause) with different numbering. This section is added by David H. Bailey which is essentially a form of Contributor License Agreement (CLA).

While working on adding it to gentoo I checked it against LBNLBSD and it is the same:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/master/licenses/LBNLBSD
And the spdx:
https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause-LBNL.html
I think I will use that for Gentoo then, since it already exists. That is also what sci-libs/qd uses https://bugs.gentoo.org/939071

@APN-Pucky It is close, but not the same. Note that https://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause-LBNL.html mentions
(3) Neither the name of the University of California, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, U.S. Dept. of Energy
and
... IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT OWNER , THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL...
which in DHB license refer to him as the author, not LBNL/DOE/UC, Berkeley/US goverment.

@APN-Pucky I think we can call this ready for review, as the copyright date is certainly not wrong. If DHB wants it updated to 2024 that's fine, but the original copyright goes back at least to 1995 if not further. |

Thanks! I will update the Gentoo license now. |
