The second part of that is that the code should actually *include* the license text. Just writing "BSD license" somewhere on the website or in package metadata is annoyingly common but somewhat questionable in how a judge might interpret it. For instance, there at least four different versions of the BSD license; which one did you mean? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
