Elsewhere you solicited comments on the "RFC - add LICENSE" step.

As long as the copyright holders of this library are happy with BSD,
I do not see a problem with your plan in which the project borrows
this code under the license and then owns it, giving access to
others under the same license.

If somebody sees problems with it, please raise your hands ;-)

Thanks.
