   Didn't exist my ass.

   Hymen you need to explain to the group why you are entitled to make
   up your own facts.

   For instance:

     * Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1990, 1991, 1993
     *  The Regents of the University of California.  All rights reserved.

   ******   1982 1982 1982 1982 1982 1982 1982 1982 ********

Right, and the original four clause BSD license is neither a free
software, or a open source license.  The fourth clause was remvoved
only in 1999, after FSF persuaded the Regents of the University of
California.  The OSI was formed in 1998.
