Hello slashupp

I think you can use and modify the U++ source or binaries freely with no royalties or fees. However you have to include always the copyright notice.

About the disclaimer I think you are right. We probably should change "THE FREEBSD PROJECT" with "THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER" following the BSD 2 clause license:
