Copyrights for GT authored code should be assigned to Georgia Tech Research Corporation.

We usually prefer the 2-clause BSD.

Right, I planned on editing it to match our standards. This was just what
Github offered to generate automatically.

Are we against the 3-clause BSD? It seems like the 3-clause protects us a
bit better than the 2-clause.

Cool

Practically speaking, there's not much actual difference...

However:
2-clause is simpler. FreeBSD and NetBSD use the 2-clause license.
Nearly all our other stuff is 2-clause BSD, so I'd suggest sticking with
that.
