Re: BSD license text

Hi Lorenzo, I think it's fine to paste it right in - for example the New BSD License needs you to edit it for copyright attribution. It's also very short - not a huge license like the GPL or revised LGPL. Alternatively you could link to an online copy with the required copyright editing but I've always preferred to put it inline since it's so short. Does QA have any rules regarding a LICENSE or COPYING file included with the source code?
