[License-review] license review request

[Pamela Chestek]

Hi Seung-Eon,

As others have said, this is the 2-clause BSD license, which is already 
an OSI-approved license. You therefore can use the license for any 
purpose where an open source license is required.

I will mark you license request as withdrawn.
