That's what I thought.

That's why the wording of my terms is indeed quite different.

The only thing I care about advertising and promotional material is that
my name *NOT* be used except with my explicit permission for each and
every instance of its use.

I do want my name to be recognized as a contributor though and since
TNF attempts to cater NetBSD towards binary distribution I feel that my
clause requiring separate and explicit notice of my contribution is the
only way I'm going to attain such acknowledgment for each and every
possible form of re-distribution.

That's why I have asked repeatedly for clarification and that people
re-read my terms very very carefully and to tell me exaclty what is
wrong and to propose precise wording changes that would abate their
objections.
