Both BSD 2-Clause License and The Unlicense are permissive licenses with minimal obligations. Combining code under them is straightforward; ensure the original copyright notices are preserved alongside any new ones.
| License | Family | Patent grant |
|---|---|---|
| BSD 2-Clause License (BSD-2-Clause) | permissive | No (implicit at most) |
| The Unlicense (Unlicense) | permissive | No (implicit at most) |
