Re: BSD License: Not any more;
July 22, 1999
To All Licensees, Distributors of Any Version of BSD:
As you know, certain of the Berkeley Software Distribution ("BSD")
source code files require that further distributions of products
containing all or portions of the software, acknowledge within their
advertising materials that such products contain software developed by
UC Berkeley and its contributors.
Specifically, the provision reads:
" * 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of
this software
* must display the following acknowledgement:
* This product includes software developed by the
University of
* California, Berkeley and its contributors."
Effective immediately, licensees and distributors are no longer
required to include the acknowledgement within advertising materials.
Accordingly, the foregoing paragraph of those BSD Unix files containing
it is hereby deleted in its entirety.

Federal "Posix compliance" was certainly a big factor but also - as an
IBM
mainframe business partner at the time - I remember there was also a big
IBM
push to get "best of breed solutions" (i.e., SAP, JDE, etc.) migrated
(or to
keep them migrated as they were enhanced) to the mainframe hardware.
BTW, if any component is BSD-based, you should see the "Regents of the
University of California" copyright notice on it.
