I distinctly recall another case of code being copied without retaining a notice, and I was personally flamed quite vehemently when I mentioned it in in a private forum. I can't claim there are more -- though I do wonder -- because I haven't paid much attention to FreeBSD code since then. At any rate, this discussion can only lead to more flames.
