As part of the copyright notice at the top of source files is the paragraph

THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE BSD NEW LICENSE OR THE
 GPL VERSION 3 LICENSE OR THE OSMC PUBLIC LICENSE (OSMC-PL) VERSION 1.2.
 ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS PROGRAM CONSTITUTES
 RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THE OSMC PUBLIC LICENSE OR THE GPL VERSION 3,
 ACCORDING TO RECIPIENTS CHOICE.

The first sentence makes it sound like like the user can choose new BSD, GPL3, or OSMC-PL. This agrees with the license info specified in setup.py. However, the second sentence does not mention new BSD. The COPYING file also makes no mention of new BSD, suggesting the only options are GPL3 or OSMC-PL.

Is this code available to use under the new BSD license?

This probably happened because of an omission in the license header template, related OM issue: OpenModelica/OpenModelica#7612
