Hi, folks,

I am thinking about whether we can use a better way to display license
for a BSD licensed software.  Currently I have copy and pasted the
copyright as a static string constant, but that means that we have to
duplicate the text, like this:

static const char license[] = " * Copyright (c) [year] [your name]\n
 * All rights reserved.\n
 *\n
 * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without\n
 * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions\n
 * are met:\n
[...]
 * SUCH DAMAGE.\n
"

Is there some better way not to include so much duplicated text?

Cheers,
