>Description:
	As part of correcting outdated license texts in the NetBSD source
	tree, I have made contact with authors whose copyrights are
	associated with required license texts, asking them if they are
	willing to allow such licenses to have the advertising clauses
	removed.

	Matthew R. Green has kindly consented to allow all code in the
	NetBSD source tree under his copyright to be relicensed in such a
	fashion. Documentation of this will be sent to the PR once opened.
>How-To-Repeat:
	N/A
>Fix:
	A gzipped patch (from cvs diff -U 20) can be obtained from:
