The "alternate terms" section in the LICENSE file states:

I wouldn't call this written permission a "commercial license", but IANAL.

Yeah, I almost called it "alternate terms", but that felt too vague.
It seemed like most other packages used the words "commercial license"
when you could contact the author/company to get out of open source
license obligations. However, if there's some other language that
better describes this, then I'll certainly modify the patch. I just
don't know what those words are.

Thanks,
Frank

BSD-2c or Special Permission

Those are the words, but "or Special Permission (of the author)" is
a null statement - it is always true.
