Hi Frediano,

I think it's best to use a 3-Clause BSD License as
appears in the COPYING file.

It seems to me your suggestion below is in fact
a BSD License.

Another option is to change the comment that the license is
written in COPYING file (probably a bit less effective than
implicitly mentioning the license).

Thanks,
     Uri.
