I've done multiple sweeps over the tree in the past. Just a few thoughts: * The NetBSD Foundation switched from a 4-clause to a 2-clause license back in 2008. Identify and make sure all TNF licensed files in our tree have the new 2-clause license. They encourage third parties to change the license on any files which have a 4-clause license contributed to the NetBSD Foundation to a 2-clause license. [1] * We have lots of files with UC Berkeley copyrights in the tree. Some of them may still have the advertising clause, but we can safely remove it.
