> BSD license family template [1] includes the clause:
> * 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.
> My reading is that this means that the complete license [1] must be reproduced when a binary is included within an Apache release
> This leads to the question: is the BSD License a NOTICE for the purposes of 3rd party licensing policy?
