So can we remove the offending license clauses, then?

Also, it's worth noting that the license in 'COPYRIGHT' is not exactly
the same as the 3 clause BSD license the BSDs are licensed under,
which is:

---

(from http://www.netbsd.org/Goals/redistribution.html)

For example, the 3rd clause is no where to be found in our
license. Not being a lawyer, I'm not sure how significant this is.
