Hi,

I've already asked on general@icubator - given they deal with LICENCE an 
dNOTICE all of the time it seemed a good place to ask.

Then why do you want to add BSD back into LICENCE? Adding the short or long 
version has the same effect legally and is not required for source 
distributions (see below).

Not sure what you mean there, they are licensed under BSD and by the terms of 
the BSD licence we can use the source code as long as we leave the headers in 
place. Note that it's only a binary distribution that requires the BSD licence 
to be placed elsewhere. That's 2 of the 3 clauses of the BSD licence.

    * Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
      notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
    * Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
      notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
      documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.

The header are  the only place the BSD license is found in FlexUnit 1 [1] - 
there is no LICENSE file or anything else.

It's on my list to do, but I'm not full time on this project or paid to work on 
it so not sure when I'll be able to get to it.

Thanks,
