The point is that is may be BSD-style license. But it is not a BSD
license. I may need to run OpenLDAP license with our company lawyer to
make sure it is BSD-like and to be sure about the implications that might
be hidden there. I would not need to do that with a BSD license.
Everybody knows that one already. That's the power of standardization. It
saves time and lowers barriers.
Numerous projects have BSD-style licenses, this isn't OpenLDAP specific.
So yes, you should already have a legal team, if that's necessary in your
case, that's familiar with dealing with FOSS licenses, to review them.
