Edit: Timothy (drizzt) found us the escape route. Applying ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change we can legally drop the clause 3 of 4-clause BSD license, and be done with it. I’m writing in this moment the code to do this, but it might require a new stage to come out. Anyway, the problem is solved, and I think I’ll mail FSF for them to actually put that note somewhere, as it doesn’t seem to be that documented around here.
This *should* cover our asses about the problem, although I'm still looking if there are sources that are redistributed under 4-clause BSD license, and for which the license change is not effective (i.e.: they are not under UCB copyright). -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò - http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/ Gentoo/Alt lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, Sound, ALSA, PAM, KDE, CJK, Ruby ...
