The paper copy I received just said BSD licence (hence my initial comments about including the full licence text or URL in the agreement). > IANAL but that Ter uses a particular one already makes the intent quite > clear which one he actually means.

The 4th clause in the license covers all [subsequent] contributions to the work. Including all new files.

It's a work-in-progress. We decide to release early to allow you [and others] access to source code. Just haven't had the time to go back and complete. Pls contact me if you wish to continue this.
