A comparison with the other BSD licenses, shows that the present license is nothing else than the 2-clause BSD license, "Simplified BSD License", or "FreeBSD License" as is explained to me in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses According to the same page it is therefore DFSG compatible. Thus the only question for me seems to be how to name this license in a DEP-5 formed copyright file, a file which I will have to compile. In the directory '/usr/share/common-licenses/' only the 3-clause BSD license, "New BSD License", is present. Gleaning in the package 'openntpd', I find that "License: BSD-2" and inclusion of the test from COPYING would be the thing to do.
