There's no such thing as "the" BSD license, you have to choose one of a
few varieties. They are described here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses

Choose the exact form of the BSD license that applies: BSD2CLAUSE,
BSD3CLAUSE or (apparently less common nowadays) BSD4CLAUSE.

Hope this helps,
