Hi dear maintainer, seems that your software contains a non clear license

the base64 files from René Nyffenegger seems more zlib like rather than BSD-3-clause


Following the license of the base64.h file

and the zlib one

they seems to be really similar, at least in my opinion.


This is the really trivial patch, would be nice to see it applied
