It has the following notice:

I wrote it, so I think it's my copyright.
Should I add it to the list of exceptions ?
Or should the regexp be made less strict by changing to something like this:


set(notice_regex "
# Copyright (20[0-9][0-9]-)?20[0-9][0-9] [^\n]+)+
#
# Distributed under the OSI-approved BSD License \\(the \"License\"\\);

")

This would still ensure that it's BSD licensed, but not insist on the "====" 
and that it is Kitware's copyright (which it probably doesn't really have for 
several of the contributed modules).
