Thank you Lutz, then, if I understand this right, new projects containing parts of Go code have to include the original Go BSD license.
There are a couple of aspects that remain unclear to me: - The copyright notice, list of conditions and disclaimer have to be included in every file of the project, or just the ones that contain snippets of Go code? - How the new authors are acknowledged? Would something like "Copyright (c) 2009 The Go and project X Authors." be appropriate? Or is it better/possible to add a second Copyright notice? We want to release a new open source project but licensing aspects are totally new for us. Any help or references to similar cases that we can learn from, would be really helpful.
