All `old' BSD licenses (of SPICE or CIDER) have been changed to the `modified'
BSD license according to the following publication
see [ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change]):
July 22, 1999
To All Licensees, Distributors of Any Version of BSD:
As you know, certain of the Berkeley Software Distribution (`BSD') source code
files require that further distributions of products containing all or
portions of the software, acknowledge within their advertising materials
that such products contain software developed by UC Berkeley and its contributors.
Specifically, the provision reads:
`3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must
display the following acknowledgment: This product includes software developed
by the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors.'
Effective immediately, licensees and distributors are no longer required to
include the acknowledgment within advertising materials. Accordingly, the
foregoing paragraph of those BSD Unix files containing it is hereby deleted
in its entirety.
