You just fill out the name and date and check off that you want. Later this afternoon when the admin accepts your file the BSD license is automated and comes with it.

really that easy???

@Luhur: Yes, it's easy. You have to decide if your company appears with the author and set the checkbox accordingly. Ready.

The advantage is that you and the downloaders know, under which condition your funtion will be used. The BSD license is a friendly "fire-and-forget" agreement: The users are responsible for keeping your name as author in the source code, but beside this they can do with it anything they want on their own risk. But, of course, the original text sounds more sophisticated - with all respekt.

If you plan to sell your software or want to restrict the usage of your software, the BSD license is not apropriate.
