This is troublesome. The BSD license requires one to have a notice
somewhere and everywhere about the copyright. This is messy at best and
causes unneccesary bloat at worst. Consider the linux kernel booting
with 220 lines of copyright messages because a silly license requires it
to allways display these.

If you want something like the BSD license, use the X license. RMS have
made a very good reasoning about this at slashdot some months ago. Look
it up. :o)
