I wonder why we do not remove copyright notice of UCB at all. It seems
a kind of double standard.

BTW, In my understanding contrib is the exception. As someone has
pointed out, contribs are "second citizen" and maybe are kicked out to
pgfoundry or whatever anytime if people think they are not appropreate
to live there.  In this case the author of the module would not want
to waste of his/her time to rewrite the copyright notice...
