Hello,

   I am considering to use silc-toolkit in a proprietary product, licensing
silc-toolkit under the revised BSD license, as specified in silc-toolkit's
COPYING file.

  However, the "BSD" file included in silc-toolkit-1.1.9 does not have a
copyright block; it starts with:

------------------------------------
Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are
met:

   1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
      notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.
   2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
      notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
      documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
[...]
------------------------------------

So conditions (1) and (2) refer to "the above copyright notice", which is
not there.

On http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php, the BSD license
template starts with:

---------------
Copyright (c) <YEAR>, <OWNER>
All rights reserved.
----------

So, what should I use ?  Something like:

-------------------
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 Pekka Riikonen
All rights reserved.

Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are
met:
[...]
------------------

Or should that copyright statement include all the names specified in the
CREDITS file ?



Best regards,

Ivo.
