Re: Licensing

That's not the 'BSD with advertising clause', that's the modern BSD
license, with a standard acknowledgement clause. The orginal advertisement
clause looks like:

(quoting from http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html)

3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
must display the following acknowledgement: This product includes
software developed by the University of California, Berkeley and
its contributors.

Unless that (or something like it) is in there, you're o.k. BTW, kudos
for thinking about licensing issues _before_ doing the work.

P.S. Which package are you looking at, BTW?
