My suggestion is to simply the the BSD license as is. The license 
holders' names should already be in the copyright line. If "QuantLib Group" 
is not the legal copyright holder, then you need to change it. If it is the 
legal copyright holder, then the names of the group can be placed in an 
"AUTHORS" file.

Although the standard MIT license doesn't have anything about advertisements 
or promotions, the new BSD license does. So just use the BSD license. Or you 
could also use the Apache license by replacing "Apache" with "QuantLib Group".

If there is no pressing need to create YAOSSL then please don't.
