I don't understand what you are asking? Look at tos/chips/msp430/Msp430ClockInit.nc for an example of the use of the license. You would basically put the template text at the start of your file and then modify the actual copyright line to include the year (2011) and your name. This really isn't that difficult nor in practice does it matter that much. This is open source. Unless your new module includes something really really tasty it won't matter. So go ahead and add the license text, modify it by adding your name etc., and be done with 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.
