I've always rather liked the look of the BSD boilerplate.

For me that's OK, an LV2 implementation would be of rather different purpose
from a general store implementation.  Though I can imagine others finding it
difficult -- I've noticed some confusion about what exactly the LGPL means
for use of the LADSPA header in the past.

I can see many cases for GPL libraries and BSD libraries, but I've not so
often been convinced by the use of the LGPL.
