===BSD=== The original [[BSD licenses|BSD license]] also includes a clause requiring all advertising of the software to display a notice crediting its authors. This "advertising clause" (since disavowed by UC Berkeley<ref name="update">{{cite web|url=ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change|title=To All Licensees, Distributors of Any Version of BSD|publisher=University of California, Berkeley|date=1999-07-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201120014440/ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change|archive-date=2020-11-20|url-status=dead|access-date=2006-11-15}}</ref>) is present in the modified MIT License used by [[XFree86]]. The [[University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License]] combines text from both the MIT and BSD licenses; the license grant and disclaimer are taken from the MIT License. The [[ISC license]] contains similarities to both the MIT and simplified BSD licenses, the biggest difference being that language deemed unnecessary by the [[Berne Convention]] is omitted.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html | title = Copyright Policy | work = [[OpenBSD]] | access-date = 6 June 2016 | quote = The ISC copyright is functionally equivalent to a two-term BSD copyright with language removed that is made unnecessary by the Berne convention. }}</ref><ref name="theo2008">{{cite mailing list | url = https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=120618313520730&w=2 | title = Re: BSD Documentation License? | mailing-list = openbsd-misc | last = de Raadt | first = Theo | author-link = Theo de Raadt | date = 21 March 2008 }}</ref>
