yep, looks like BSD...

it is actually a bit lame that the article is making a big scare-tactic 
like fuss over a BSD header-comment, which is damn near one of the most 
free options next to Public Domain...

now, more LOLZ would have been if someone had included the entirety of 
the GPLv3 in a programs' header comments...

and, yes, GPL would be a bit more legally encumbering than BSD is...
