No, I don't see any problem with the BSD license, or any other
license, for that matter. I just had some reservations about releasing
stuff that was far from perfect, and it took me a while to realize
it could be useful as it is for some, and serve as a good starting
point for others. Now I wonder, what does it take to be in contrib?
