I didn't want to get involved in a licensing discussion here, but there
are some factual errors about "early history" that should be corrected.
The original 'advertising clause' was from the UCal Regents, not FreeBSD
organization et al. They were worried about their name being used
inappropriately. The CSRG didn't care who used their stuff, or under what
terms. Once it was understood that the advertising clause wasn't
necessary, the CSRG et al were quite happy to remove it. They had already
been paid to develop the software, they were not worried about
*increasing* their publicity, they were worried about someone else *using
the UCal Berkeley name* for inappropriate purposes.
I know; I was there.
