Re: missing license?

It is closer to the MIT license. It specifically says "free of charge" 
and list examples of rights in redistributing and use. It also 
specifically makes it clear for the recipients of the software.

The clauses are basically the same modified-bsd, but the disclaimer has 
many differences Two of the clauses (source and binary redistribution) 
are the same as the 2-clause-bsd (but that is missing third no 
endorsement/promotion clause). The disclaimer has many differences.

The opening paragraph of The University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source 
License and disclaimer are nearly the same as the MIT License. (Minor 
difference is that the MIT license says "deal in the Software" versus 
"deal with the Software" and disclaimer says authors instead of 
contributors.

The UoI-NCSA license conditions specifically list out conditions for the 
source code redistributions, binary form redistributions, and the no 
endorsement/promotion clause.

Since the UoI-NCSA license is a standard license, I'd just add it.
