You're right, I've been a bit lazy about BSD licenses, as I don't know in
detail all the variants. As I was mostly taking care of the core implementation
I skipped that part. I promise I'll do this homework next time. :-)
BTW, 4-clause BSD-like licenses have each a different copyright notice on
top (take for example the bzip2 license). Are them still *Original* BSD
4-clause licenses?
I think they are usually considered as such, which is ok according to common
sense, but is this correct from a strict legal point of view?
Does anybody has a precise knowledge or a trustworthy link to an answer?
