Comment(by ericmann):

 BSD licensing clauses:
  - '''Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright
 notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.'''  The
 library itself still retains the original copyright and explicitly links
 out to the list of conditions.  This is the format in which the original
 author distributed the code.
  - '''Redistributions in binary form must...'''  WordPress distributes
 source, not binary, so this doesn't apply.
  - '''Neither the name of the <ORGANIZATION> nor the names of its
 contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this
 software without specific prior written permission.'''  We don't use the
 IXR library, or Simon to promote WordPress.

 So how, exactly, are we ignoring the requirements of the license?
