Re: License and pgfoundry

Are there guidelines to add a proper BSD license to the project?
only In README, also in C soruces?
Adding personal credits.

How this thing works?
I saw that on the OSI site, the template of the license is a bit different
from the licenses i see being used in the contrib and postgresql.
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php

here is the template from the site. what should i use?
