Hi Toby,

FYI: the Random123 license is just what is commonly referred to as the 2-clause BSD license:

It is 3-clause, just formatted without a bullet for the third clause.

https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause I don't see any problem with making a repo for it and using it for a PetscRandom implementation (IANAL).

Best regards, Karli

I just came across Random123 [1]: portable, parallel, high-quality pseudorandom number generators. It's developed by DE Shaw, but the license [2] looks to me like we should be able to make a repo for it and use it as a PetscRandom implementation. Does anyone savvier than me want to look at the license and see if I'm missing something?

Cheers, Toby
