licensing of cmake scripts

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

on wednesday I added the following BSD license to 
kdelibs/cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake:

Is the license as I put it there ok ? 
Is it ok for everybody who wrote some modules to have them BSD-licensed ?
I don't think protecting these modules by licensing them under (L)GPL is worth 
it. Additionally if some of them might go into cmake cvs, they have to be BSD 
licensed, since cmake is BSD licensed.

So, should I go ahead and add this license statement with the appropriate 
authors everywhere ?
It's quite long, longer than some of the actual scripts, is there a way to 
make it shorter in some way ?
Is it ok to add this statement not at the very top, but directly below the 
documentation ?

Bye
Alex
