BSD two-clause and MIT should be substantially equivalent AFAIK.

The BSD has a "non-endorsement clause" prohibiting the use of the name of the copyright holders in promotion.

The OSI approved version of the MIT license doesn't include an equivalent clause (that's the one I usually use in my projects), but some variations of the MIT license do (ie. the X11 license).

EDIT: OK, I misread your comment when you said "BSD two-clause". I think you're right, as it removed the "non-endorsement" clause.

Yes. I have always wanted to ask. So what is the difference between BSD and MIT?

BSD 2-clause = MIT (aka X11)

The BSD 3-clause and 4-clause variants are a little bit more restrictive, though none of them have this "viral" character of copyleft licences like the GPL.

I would advise MIT, because it does not have this "how many clause" confusions.

Originated at Berkeley vs MIT I guess
