The traceroutec.c with the original license text was introduced in [1] on 2001-07-10 and updated in [2] on 2001-07-12 to include Vladimir Oleynik as copyright holder, however, in [3] on 1999-07-22 the original authors of the license retroactively deleted the advertising clause (3) on the software under the University of California copyright, leading to the BSD-4-Clause-UC variant which removes the advertising imposition to the original software, but not on software with different copyright holders, as in this case with Vladimir Oleynik.
Due to the timeline, the license text included in busybox should not include the clause (3) "all advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software display the following acknowledgement", since the original license text should have been updated to remove it. This commit removes the clause (3) from traceroute.c to avoid confusions.
