A very simple rule is applies  -- Oracle copyright shall be put into license 
files for packages inside which there is also Oracle's IP (e.g., Samba).  So, 
if proftpd is delivered in multiple packages (do not know the details from top 
of my head) then it may be well possible and correct that some proftpd packages 
have Oracle's copyright inside their license file and some do not.
