src/port/qsort.c is wrong, then: (a) it includes the full NetBSD
copyright/warranty statement (b) it claims to be covered by the 4
clause BSD license.

A quick grep of the source tree indicates that the following files
claim to be covered by the 4 clause BSD license:

$ grep -rlI 'This product includes software developed' *
contrib/mysql/my2pg.pl
contrib/pgcrypto/README.pgcrypto
contrib/pgcrypto/blf.c
contrib/pgcrypto/blf.h
src/backend/port/darwin/system.c
src/backend/port/dynloader/freebsd.c
src/backend/port/dynloader/netbsd.c
src/backend/port/dynloader/openbsd.c
src/backend/utils/mb/wstrcmp.c
src/backend/utils/mb/wstrncmp.c
src/port/crypt.c
src/port/getopt.c
src/port/getopt_long.c

src/port/qsort.c
