Just including an email has been done before. I'd like to see the text
of license (the original BSD release was under one license (4 clause),
after many years they changed it to a second (3 clause), and I
understand some in the BSD projects use a third (2 clause), all by the
name of the BSD license). The source code's not a big deal, and a PGP
signature is sort of pointless; I suspect more legal danger from it
possibly not being his code than him possibly not being the person who
posted it.
