I'm planning to package samsung-mdc for Debian and Ubuntu. Part of the packaging process involves confirming a package's licensing and copyright.

Your licence information just lists BSD, but which version do you mean? There are several: BSD-1-Clause BSD-2-Clause BSD-3-Clause BSD-4-Clause

If you can confirm which BSD licence samsung-mdc is released under, that would be very helpful.

@hughmcmaster thanks for interest in that, I genuinely didn't know there are different versions, just wanted as permissive license as possible. BSD-3-Clause should be more permissive than original BSD, so i guess I should go with that (?) Should I replace "BSD" with "BSD-3" in setup.py.license, or add LICENSE file with BSD-3-Clause?

Specified BSD-3-Clause license and added license file to package (released new version)! Thanks for pointing this out!

I was going to recommend both options.

Thank you for responding so quickly.
