What is this license? about atlas HOT 4 CLOSED

This is a standard BSD, 3-clause license. I'll update the readme to reflect that (d313b59).

Re-opening...

Is there a particular portion of it that is breaking licensename?

Thanks for asking :)

After carefull reading it looks like a personalized mix between a BSD-3-Clause and an MIT:

You prefixed the last BSD clause by "Other than as used herein" and you're the only project I can find with this modification. But I'm no lawyer and I'm not saying if it's right or wrong.

About your preamble, here's yours:

Battelle Memorial Institute (hereinafter Battelle) hereby grants
permission to any person or entity lawfully obtaining a copy of this software
and associated documentation files (hereinafter “the Software”) to
redistribute and use the Software in source and binary forms, with or without
modification. Such person or entity may use, copy, modify, merge, publish,
distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and may permit
others to do so, subject to the following conditions:

Here's the BSD one:

Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:

And here's the MIT one:

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:

The "may use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and may permit others to do so" from your "BSD" preamble really looks like from the MIT license.

Again I'm not telling it's wrong / bad / or good, but to answer your question: neither licensename nor licensee (the one in perl used by github) are detecting it as a BSD-3-Clause, which is OK from my point of view.

Thanks for getting back with me!

I prefer unedited licenses as we all become familiar with those rather than edited ones. I feel your points are valid and that they need to be addressed by the software licensing team at PNNL. I'll get things changed prior to submitting our revised manuscript.
