Nope. This is why the entire licensing situation - generally - is a WTF.

SMF is BSD. Under that logic, any changes we make would also be BSD... but that's not how it works. We are required to keep the copyright intact, and otherwise follow the terms of the BSD... but the changes we make to it are ours and not BSD.

They are our copyright, and copyright law prevails in absence of a licence declaring otherwise - which is why a licence is *so* important, it's the only thing that gives you any rights to anything.

Technically, when Wedge releases, it will be 'SMF is BSD, and it's still BSD, but all the other stuff on top is under <this other licence> and the total package is released under <this other licence>'. It's a horrible murky mess to contend with.
When we unite against a common enemy that attacks our ethos, it nurtures group solidarity. Trolls are sensational, yes, but we keep everyone honest. | Game Memorial
