For example, our LICENSE file was already changed from mentioning just Apple in the non-endorsement clause to mentioning both Apple and MacPorts, back in 2007: https://github.com/macports/macports-base/commit/afa23c443cd9ee66df0f7b212ad9ed1f21055830 And Apple's name was changed from Apple Computer, Inc. to Apple Inc. in our LICENSE in 2009: https://github.com/macports/macports-base/commit/b4cac8cd814dca61b1a263d2f86128375dc60baf > The non-endorsement clause is gone entirely in the 2-clause BSD license, of > course, but I don't know what would be involved with relicensing MacPorts > under the 2-clause BSD license; it would probably be complicated.
