If you want to distribute object code only, you'll have to package it
up with the license in a separate file. Do you intend to use the same
(BSD) license ? If so, then why only distribute object code ? If
not, then it really depends on the license you intend to use; but make
sure to add the license for the original code too.
So, what license do you intend to use ?
Anyway, it all sound very theoretical. Why don't you come back when
you've written the code and want to put it under another license and
then show us that license.
