Upstream does not have a license and commented the following:

  "as Go 1.6 now supports whitespace elision [1], I won't be making any
   further changes to this package and will probably delete it soon." [2]

Is this package really needed?

Please investigate. Meanwhile I'm tagging this bug as "wontfix" for now.

Also please note that "BSD-style license" is not necessary the same as 
"BSD-3-clause". You can't make such assumption because there are too many 
"BSD style" licenses so techically speaking it can be any of them (and not 
limited to the list):
