Is this BSD-3-Clause Variant DFSG-compliant?
Hi folks,
Today I found the file test/ftp.y, in btyacc package, using the
following license:
test/ftp.y: * Copyright (c) 1985, 1988 Regents of the University of California.
test/ftp.y- * All rights reserved.

test/ftp.y: * provided that the above copyright notice and this paragraph are
test/ftp.y- * duplicated in all such forms and that any documentation,
test/ftp.y- * advertising materials, and other materials related to such
test/ftp.y- * distribution and use acknowledge that the software was developed
test/ftp.y- * by the University of California, Berkeley. The name of the
test/ftp.y- * University may not be used to endorse or promote products derived

test/ftp.y- * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ``AS IS'' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
test/ftp.y- * IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED
test/ftp.y- * WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A

For me it is not DFSG-compatible because I can't see a clause about
allowing modifications in source code. However, I found several
packages[1] in main section using this license.
