Well, in every file somebody else could copy over. another possibility would 
be to add a special exception clause, like autoconf does: 


# As a special exception to the GNU General Public License, if you
# distribute this file as part of a program that contains a
# configuration script generated by Autoconf, you may include it under
# the same distribution terms that you use for the rest of that program.


I'm not sure which variant is better.

This is so much text, simply using the BSD license is better and easier to 
understand I'd say.
What about when such modules go into cmake cvs ?
cmake itself is licensed under BSD, can the BSD license then removed from the 
files ?
