As the original creator, you can license the code as BSD to OpenSim, 
but later also use the same code in projects with more restrictive 
license. As the creator, you are not bound by the BSD license in 
other projects you use the source code for.
However, closed source parts will never be part of OpenSim.

IAssetCache was the old CommsManager implementation of asset 
fetching. It was deprecated, obsoleted and removed. The remaining 
implementation needs to be removed from the project.

Because it is there. Cache.cs is an original contribution from me, 
before I knew how collections really work in C#. It needs lots of 
work, but because it was there, it was used. It's meant to be 
generic and ubiquitous and I have some ideas on redoing it.
