The complex bit of code embedding is that both MIT and BSD have a clause saying that redistribution from source (even partially) should keep the original copyright notice (which includes authors, dates and license summary). It is straightforward to do when the original file is untouched, however things get a bit more difficult when portions of code gets included in larger modules, or so-called "compatibility" modules, where there is an aggregate of code with mixed copyright.

That's why the NOTICE file is useful. You just have to aggregate all copyright information in this one file and you are guaranteed to comply. Besides, commercial entities or packagers like myself, who need to survey the compliance of each software, have an easier time doing their work.

Did my explanation make sense?
