Can someone clarify which BSD license (2,3 or 4 clause) this is licensed under?

Thanks!

@davidslater250 @saxicek I found the correct license here http://www.thaiopensource.com/download/trang-20030619.zip see "copying.txt" file:

@richardfontana Does not really seem like original file given that Benson Margulies is MIT guy and jclark sounds also like American / UK.

Having taken another look at this because it just came up in a Fedora context, I believe my previous conclusion is basically correct. In the zip file available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/relaxng/files/datatype%20%28java%29/2001_10_11/relaxngDatatype.java.zip/download the files at src/org/relaxng/datatype appear to be identical to the files in this repository at https://github.com/java-schema-utilities/relaxng-datatype-java/tree/master/src/main/java/org/relaxng/datatype

The zip file includes a license file, ThaiOpenSourceCenter-copying.txt, the contents of which are identical to what I posted above except that the date in the copyright notice is "2001" rather than "2002, 2003". This is a fairly common variety of 3-clause BSD license.

Regarding @saxicek's comment, for biographical material on Jim Clark see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clark_(programmer) .

Clark has lived in Bangkok, Thailand since 1995, and is permanent Thai resident. He owns a company called Thai Open Source Software Center, which provides him a legal framework for his open-source activities.

Oh, also @jclark is on github in case he wishes to comment.

@richardfontana Conclusion is correct. trang lives here now: https://github.com/relaxng/jing-trang

Thai Open Source Software Center is no more, but it assigned the copyright to me before it closed down (though I'm not sure I could lay my hands on the bit of paper any longer).
