Who should I contact to get the forms to apply for >a BSD license? You don't need a form to apply a FLOSS license, simply chose one and add a copy of the license to your code. Starting points might be https://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html https://www.freebsd.org/internal/software-license.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ModifiedBSD https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#FreeBSD I don't know if you need to add the license as a comment on top of the header files, as well as providing a license file or if just one or the other is needed, but it shouldn't be hard to find out, when reading about the licenses. To add a FLOSS license to your code, you don't need to install a FLOSS operating system, but don't offend a license, assuming you code should include code of others.
