-NOTE: parts of the library might be under a different license:
-
-* event.h is same license as above, but is closely modelled after libevent,
-  so its license might apply even though its not obviously derived from it
-  (it's the 3-clause bsd license).
-* evdns.c is under public domain (so it says) but was taken out of libevent,
-  so its license might apply.
+NOTE: the core parts of this library are under the so-called 2-clause
+BSD style license, which is compatible with this one, but lacks the
+restriction that you must not use the name of the author(s) of those parts
+to endorse any product. So feel free to use the authors name and any
+others that helped write the core parts :)
