Hi,

I need to reuse a BSD license component in my product. Once the product is developed I am going to redistribute that to several users with this component embedded with my product (I am using it as a library). Does this allowed in BSD license?

Regards,

Dilshan

A: 

You can see the exact terms here, but in general, yes, what you describe would be permissible so long as you reproduce the BSD copyright notice.

Not a lawyer, but the BSD license allows just about anything provided the license stays attached.
