[sldev] Can I include source licensed under the 3-clause BSD?

[Second Life]

Not to mention that writing in single platform only code is going to be a 
BIG no-no.

SL has gone to great lengths to make this code cross platform, the last 
thing we want to do is start fracturing it on an OS basis... Especially if 
you did plan on it being merged with the main code base. As long as it has 
to be rewritten for another platform it should be written cross platform to 
begin with.
