I read articles and see picture captions describing a 109 as Bf109. How is one to tell whether it is or not? The only difference is that a Bf was made under licence by another aircraft manufacturer and the Me109 by Messerschmitt.

They are one and the same. The Messerschmidt company was originally called Bayerische Flugzeugwerke before being renamed for Willy Messerschmidt in 1938.

The BF109 and ME109 are the same plane. BF was the Prefix used by the Luftwaffe, while the ME prefix was used by Allied Air Forces.
