Add support for the BSD 3-Clause Clear license #20

Closed spakin closed 4 years ago

spakin commented 4 years ago

The BSD 3-Clause Clear license is the "same as BSD-3-Clause but with explicit statement as to no patent rights granted in last paragraph". Specifically, this means the inclusion of the following line:

NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED LICENSES TO ANY PARTY'S PATENT RIGHTS ARE GRANTED BY THIS LICENSE.

This pull request includes the license file itself, licenses/BSD-3-Clause-Clear, and a simple (100%) test, testdata/BSD-3-Clause-Clear.t1 to confirm that the license is distinguishable from the regular BSD-3-Clause license.

I am in the middle of a rewrite that makes it possible to add many more licenses, including this one, but it's been interrupted by my diminished work time during the pandemic.

We can land this in the interim.
