+                These optional files satisfy licensing requirements for the BSP.
+                The type or types of files here can vary depending on the licensing requirements.
+                For example, in the crownbay BSP all licensing requirements are handled with the 
+                <filename>COPYING.MIT</filename> file.  
+            </para>
+
+            <para>
+                Licensing files can be MIT, BSD, GPLv*, and so forth.
+                These files are recommended for the BSP but are optional and totally up to the BSP developer.
