2-clause license for res_init.c



Hello,

Not sure if this mailing list is the best place for this question...point me in the right direction if not...

I'm looking to include a file from NetBSD 5.0.1 into an open source project on Apache Software Foundation under the Apache License Version 2. The file in question is res_init.c:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/dist/bind/lib/bind/resolv/Attic/res_init.c?rev=1.1.1.5&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

This file looks like it has a BSD license with an advertising clause. However, ASF notes that only BSD license without advertising clause is most compatible with ALv2:
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a

Is the res_init.c file one of the files that was intended to be switched over to the 2-clause license?
http://www.netbsd.org/about/redistribution.html#why2clause

If so, how can I get an update of the res_init.c file with a 2-license clause? Would somebody on the NetBSD team be able to authorize such a change?

Cheers,
Andrew
