Another thing about the website, there's problem in the the current BSD licence content. It doesn't match yours. Here is the license template from http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php

There is more BSD-type licenses floating around. So far we have not cared, I guess "COPYING-PLAIN" (adapted from Enlightmen) sums it up.

But I think we should be more serious about licensing stuff now.
