Indeed, that would help the users understand the license directly
instead of asking questions on the mailing list ;-) or looking
for more precise information on the internet.
(E.g.:
http://www.linfo.org/bsdlicense.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_license
)
Originally I was worried that the BSD license could be attacked in
the case of commercial use because it doesn't explicitly mention
the right to sell the code, but after some research it appears
that BSD-licensed code is used into Microsoft and Apple products,
so it would probably be difficult to make a rule case against it
nowadays.
What is the special reason to switch to the BSD license?
Did you have problems with the original HTS one?
Thanks and best regards;
