Only for the stuff that is copyright by the Regents of the University of California, and the change in terms appears to only apply to code that has historically benn or is currently part of BSD. So the advertising clause remains in stuff that is not copyright by the Regents, and in BSD-licenses stuff they released that was never actually part of BSD. The change was dramatic and significant, but it doesn't wipe the advertising clause off the face of the earth, and we should not pretend that it does. <ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change> -- G.
