Hi,

BTW the code is in FreeBSD 2-clause. Which is always different than
MIT right?
According to wikipedia is the same:
""A 2-clause BSD-style license, found in software such as Apple
Inc.'s WebKit (though most of WebKit is under the LGPL) is
essentially identical to the MIT License, as it does not contain an
advertising clause.""
They are not fully identical, just similar. The difference is the
second(?) clause, requiring mention in user documentation.
The old 4-clause BSD license, with the advertising clause, is not an
OSI-approved Open Source license at all, so that Wikipedia argument is
somewhat questionable.
