Which is okay for 4.4bsd derived files, but if I checked in a file to the
tree with the standard license 2 years ago, you now have to contact me to
get it removed, because its my copyright, not UCBs.

This gets more complicated if I was hit by a bus in the mean time, or am
now out of reach ("screw computers! I'm going to become a hermit!"), because
you have to contact _me_.

Well, at least that's how I understand it.
