[License-review] For Legacy Approval: LBNL BSD (Sebastian Ainslie)

[Pamela Chestek]

Hi Sebastian,

McCoy and I have both asked the same question but you haven't responded
- I'm assuming because you get the digest and the question slipped
through. You said "Any other changes from ‘vanilla’ BSD are imposed upon
us as we are a Federal Department of Energy National Lab (there are 17
DOE Labs across the country, all of them doing software projects)." Can
you elaborate more on what those regulations are or say?

Thanks,
Pam
