This is a rare, franken license that consists of the first and 3rd clause of the BSD 3 clause
I track this in scancode as the "mentalis" license.

https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/develop/src/licensedcode/data/licenses/mentalis.LICENSE

It is misleading to name this a BSD license as this is a rare bird indeed.

@WPCTW @pombredanne thanks for your input guys. I have created #942, going to a full BSD 3-Clause License. I'm waiting for a review from @robbiehanson

@pombredanne Thanks a lot for showing interest and contributing to CocoaLumberjack! Even tough it’s been a while, we would like to invite you to become a maintainer – no pressure to accept! You can pitch in with what seems comfortable: comment on open issues/PRs, triage, improve documentation, write your own PRs. See a broader discussion here #941. Let me know if you are interested.

@bpoplauschi thank you for the offer, but I would be grossly under qualified to be a maintainer on this codebase, so I will have to pass.
