Licensing for Scala

[Geoff Reedy]

I am planning to create packages for the Scala programming language[1]
for Fedora.  The license for Scala[2] seems to be similar to the BSD
license, but as suggested by the Licensing page in the fedora wiki I'm
sending the details to this list for approval.

2. http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/license.html

This is indeed a variant of the standard 3-clause BSD license with no 
significant deviations.

Yep. Just use "BSD" for the License text field.
