currently reports the BDS-4-Clause licensing terms, including the problematic
advertising clause.

However the NetBSD foundation relicensed everything to the BSD-2-Clause in
2008, see https://www.netbsd.org/about/redistribution.html#why2clause (the file
has a CVS id from 2009).

They also state that "Third parties are encouraged to change the license on any
files which have a 4-clause license contributed to the NetBSD Foundation to a
2-clause license" so it would be nice to update the licensing terms of the
affected file, to make the life of licensing auditors slightly easier. :D
