+ *       combination of their Contribution(s) with the work of
+ *       authorship to which such Contribution(s) was added by such
+ *       copyright holder or contributor, if, at the time the
+ *       Contribution is added, such addition causes such combination
+ *       to be necessarily infringed. The patent license shall not
+ *       apply to any other combinations which include the
+ *       Contribution.
+ *
+ * It is not necessary for the file to explicitly state that it is
+ * under a "BSD" licence; only that the licensing terms be
+ * functionally equivalent to the standard two-clause BSD licence with
+ * patent grant.
