The ISC license is a permissive free software license published by the Internet Software Consortium, now called the Internet Systems Consortium. It is functionally equivalent to the simplified BSD and MIT licenses, but without language deemed unnecessary following the Berne Convention. It was originally used for ISC software such as BIND and dig, and it has become the preferred license for contributions to OpenBSD and the default license for npm packages. The ISC license is also used for Linux wireless drivers contributed by Qualcomm Atheros, as well as by the LV2 plugin system.
