Align the LICENSE with the official BSD 3-Clause License #613
Description
I’ve noticed some discrepancies with the official BSD 3-Clause License. These differences complicate the use of this project’s code in other projects, so I suggest aligning the LICENSE file with the official BSD 3-Clause License. This is a review from deepseek:
Endorsement Clause (Key Difference # 1)
Your License:
"Neither the name of the author nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products..."
Official BSD 3-Clause:
"Neither the name of the copyright holder nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products..."
Impact:
Your version uses "author" instead of "copyright holder". This is not standard but may not affect legal meaning if the author is the copyright holder.
Disclaimer & Liability (Key Difference # 2)
Your License:
"IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, [...] DAMAGES."
Official BSD 3-Clause:
"IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, [...] DAMAGES."
Differences:
Your version uses singular "holder" (official uses plural "holders").
Your version omits "or contributors", removing liability protection for contributors.
Impact:
This is a significant deviation. The official BSD license shields both copyright holders and contributors from liability, while your version only protects the copyright holder.
