The maintainer has just added a section in the license file regarding the
use of "BSD Protection License" in core.c.
It can be seen here:
https://github.com/ilanschnell/bsdiff4/commit/935149e7828b0e04fc95d34030479d8e297aae00
In addition, I've sent a PR for him with a MANIFEST.in file in order to include
the license file in the package.
Until it's merged and a new version is released, I'll send a v2 stating the
package has BSD-2-Clause and BSD-Protection.
