This is off-topic, please feel free to downvote/delete whatever but I've really not done well trying to find the answer to this question and there seem to be knowledgeable people here.

I'm joining in on a project that uses the Zend framework. The Framework is under the New BSD License.

We'd like our code to be under the same license. Do we just leave things as they are? Do we add our license to the files we create and leave the Zend files as they are? Do we need to add our stuff to all the files, even those that came with Zend?

I apologize if there is an obvious place to go to understand this, I have not been able to find it.




If you're a serious business you need real legal advice.

That said: put the license in the root of your project (as Zend probably does). Put your own copyright headers on any files that you create. Leave Zend's copyright headers on any files you don't modify. Add your own copyright to the a copyright header on any files you do modify.
