I'm not sure I understand correctly. Isn't that intended behavior of the license? (assuming there was claim of endorsement) If I reuse code under BSD license, then I have to comply with the license. (That Foo submitted a patch or I take it myself doesn't seem to make a difference either.) -- Oracle corollary to Hanlon's razor: Never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice.
