This is potentially endless, but: "3c: If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are present in the software." * copyright -- same as in BSD style license, so this shouldn't be a problem * patent -- not covered by GPL v2 (?) * trademark -- not covered by GPL v2 (?) * attribution notice -- what does that mean exactly?
