No. The BSD licence don't say the code will be out of copyright instead it
maintains copyright. Nobody can steal it, but everyone may "deal in the
software" without any restrictions. And by doing so there is only one
condition: the duty to include the copyright notice. Otherwise it is a
infringement of the licence. I just wanted to make that clear and I'm not
against LGPL. I only think there are brighter ones outside.
