SPHEREPACK License and URL change #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi, the UEL you are using for SPHEREPACK is broken.  The new one is:

http://www2.cisl.ucar.edu/resources/legacy/spherepack

Also, reading the license terms and what you mention in your package, they seem 
to have switched to a BSD-3-Clause license type.

Thanks,

-Filipe

I think it got moved again, to https://github.com/NCAR/NCAR-Classic-Libraries-for-Geophysics/tree/main/SpherePack

They may also have changed the License again, to one-clause BSD, though without the one clause, which is unfortunately distinct from the zero-clause BSD license.

Alternately, they may have intended to keep the three-clause BSD they had when LICENSE.spherepack got copied here, and just forgotten the clauses. Those intending to go with a license more permisive than BSD-3 tend to go for MIT, CC0, or the Unlicense; I didn't know there were versions of the BSD license with fewer clauses.
