That's the 2-Clause BSD license:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses#2-clause_license_.28.22Simplified_BSD_License.22_or_.22FreeBSD_License.22.29
I used to use it for my projects before I switched them to the ISC
license (functionally the same but with more terse wording). It is
both DFSG-free and GPL-compatable, FWIW.
