What kind of BSD license is meant?



Hi,

I'm currently updating devel/p5-DATA-UUID
(http://search.cpan.org/dist/Data-UUID/) and there is as LICENSE simply
named 'BSD' with the following text:

> This distribution contains code derived from the sample UUID implementation in
> RFC 4122, which contains the following clause.
> 
>  /*

Which license is meant? The original BSD license or the modified one?

Thanks,
Jens
