As the cmake project contains a sub-repository(NuGetTestProject) as part of its source. Could you please help confirm the license of this component ?

This is a small bespoke NuGet package that a contributor added for the purpose of testing NuGet functionality. Its source code is located in the `Package` directory next to the `Repository` directory - this can be confirmed by running `strings` on the `.dll` inside the package and comparing it with the source code in `Library.cs`. All original work that’s contributed to CMake is presumed to be the same 3-clause BSD license as the rest of the code base. This code is licensed under the 3-clause BSD license.

So what is the license for NuGetTestProject ? 3-clause BSD ?
