Well, there are 2 concerns.  The first is the ability to proove that the
code is under a compatible license.  That set of comments is probably
fine, but documenting it in ThirdPartyLicenses is appropriate.

The second is having anything in bin/ that we don't have ready access to
source for, incase we need to fix a bug.  It would be good if the source
was checked into opensim-libs if it isn't readily pointable to by a url.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
