Thanks David - I am still learning about the license issues and need your help here again.
After reading the BSD License template in LICENSE file along with jpim license, I think it will just go in the NOTICE file only. jpim license header has following information: Java PIM Library (jpim) Copyright (c) 2001-2003 jpim development team. All rights reserved. which can be moved to NOTICE file as ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JPIM NOTICE This product includes software developed by jpim development team ( http://jpim.sourceforge.net/index.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But I find two differences that I would also like your comments on: 1) In jpim it is >> Neither the name of the *author* nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. but in template it is >> Neither the name of the *<ORGANIZATION> *2) In jpim it is >> IN NO EVENT SHALL *THE REGENTS* OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES but in template it is >> IN NO EVENT SHALL* THE COPYRIGHT OWNER* OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES I think in #2 these both are same, so this would be acceptable. Please let me know if there is any other changes required other than just NOTICE file.
