Thanks Matt for your explanation. I've always interpreted the BSD license 
slightly differently.

"Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification, are permitted"

I've believed that Redistribution and Use are the permissions on the 
code...what you can do with it. Nowhere does the BSD license say what you 
can't do with the code, only what you can therefore 1) redistribute and 2) 
use the code,. How that permits wrapping the code inside another license in 
the same file.
