License type

According to this article, radvd is under BSD license, sourced with a link to the project mailing list where one of the maintainers claims "an old style BSD license". However, while radvd's licenece (as of v2.17) is similar to the old "four-clause" BSD license, it seems to diverge from all known forms of the BSD license, in particular by adding the clauses numbered "0." and "1.":

Well, it's not exactly a BSD license but it doesn't in effect do anything a BSD license doesn't already do. You can turn BSD licensed stuff to proprietary software which is basically what clause 0 says. Just a useless vanity license. 2001:14BA:80D2:6F00:0:0:0:1EC ( talk) 17:03, 28 September 2018 (UTC) reply
