I wont express an opionion on that, but when you mentioned
this I went back and looked at the commit, and right below
the above is an additional line:
+.\ This program is free software

I am not sure if that even makes since, it is not a program, it
is a manual page, and I am also not sure on how that affects
the following BSD 2 clause.  I normally associated those
words with the GPL.  Which leads me to wonder, did this
file have a GPL on it and it got "removed" but left a tiny
residual behind?

I also find many instances of this in our tree, so this
may come from a copy and paste.

IMHO that line should also die.
