Ack. Yes, sorry. Fingers on autopilot.

Per the instructions given to me by the Board, those licenses are being
split into the UCB copyright/license (3-clause) and the other author's
license. Presumably this means the most restrictive license will rule. I
am also contacting the dual-copyright authors (as I can find them) and
asking them if they are willing to allow at least the code involved to be
relicensed to a 3-clause license.

Licenses held by consenting authors will be re-collapsed in separate patch
runs (at the request of the Board, to make things clearer in the diffs and
logs). In particular to this set, I have managed to contact Mr. Nudelman
(the copyright in the code appears to have his name spelled differently
than how he spells it) and confirmed that he wrote the code, and have made
the request of him (I am still waiting on his reply).
