Since the term "BSD License" is ambiguous it would be good to ask.  If
they mean the original BSD license, then this is free software, so it is
OK to add it, but it would also mean that the license is incompatible
with the GNU GPL.  It would be useful to know which license they mean.
The best way for them to do that is to include the text of the license
in the source tree.
