Hi I am packaging a perl distribution (system-info) for Debian which includes the file /etc/release from NetBSD systems [1,2]. This files have a copyright header but no actual copyright terms which makes them a bit problematic for distribution.
On freenode's #NetBSD I was told that the file is not really under copyright, and that the notice pertains to the entire NetBSD release. I would guess then that the file is either not copyrightable or under the same license as the rest of the distribution. For what is worth, that notice is there via [3, 4]. If someone could confirm or clarify the situation, that would be great as then I would have a link to use as reference.
