If you were using the Open Source licence, you'd follow the BSD licence for 
the code you copied.

Since you have a commercial licence, please read that text and see whether it 
allows the copying under terms less restrictive than BSD. The files themselves 
have no text saying "also licensed under the commercial terms", so I can't 
tell you for sure whether the commercial licence applies.
