Description

Originally reported by Kubilay Kocak (Bitbucket: koobs, GitHub: koobs)

Add a LICENSE file to the repository containing the chosen license text, to indicate explicitly which of the BSD Licenses [1] is specified:

• 2-clause ("Simplified" or "FreeBSD")
• 3-clause ("Revised", "New" or "Modified"), or
• 4-clause ("Original")

I am currently creating a FreeBSD Port for the lazy package, and need to specify this for our license framework requirements.

• Update Trove classifiers to suite (for bonus points)
