Hi,
My name is Sergio Belkin I maintain UpTools package. That package has
a License that has 4 clauses and because of that I get confused and
labeld as "BSD with advertising". But a closer read of "BSD with
advertising" at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/FAQ#What.27s_the_deal_with_the_B...
makes to understand that is the License that we are using is not "BSD
with advertising". Anyway I wonder if even that has 4 clauses it's a
"BSD" license. I've found that cyrus-sasl has the same license and its
license it was as "BSD" but maintainer changed the tag License, surely
because of a bug I reported.

But again, seeing more deeply it doesn't seem "BSD with advertising".
In short: Please could you tell me if the following License can be
tagged as "BSD" i.e. BSD License (no advertising)
The clause that causes GPL problems in the original BSD was the
following license terms:
3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must
display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed
by the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors.
That would seem equivalent to
* 4. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the
following
* acknowledgment: 'This product includes software developed by the
* "Universidad de Palermo, Argentina" (
http://www.palermo.edu/).'
so it would seem that your software is BSD with advertising clause.
