Thank you very much for the information. So I want to include the new BSD licence, I only must add the licence text to the code, isn't it? Also I've read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses#3-clause_license_.28.22New_BSD_License.22_or_.22Modified_BSD_License.22.29 the new BSD licence is GPL-compatible. Could I use this licence instead?
