The SSLeay license is not a BSD-style license. The BSD license is not
a typical non-copyleft free license; it has a particular problem. For
an explanation, see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html.
If you want to release a program as non-copylefted free software,
please use the X11 license, not the BSD license. The X11 license is
the best of these licenses.
