The above copyright mentions have no actual BSD copyright text, so what
do we do? If we assume they are BSD copyrights that match our own, we
perhaps don't have a problem. If not, we do have a problem.
The one that is a more serious issue is in
/pgtop/contrib/pgcrypto/blf.*, where the BSD advertising clause is in
the copyright, and the author has updated the copyright:
* must display the following acknowledgement:* This product includes software developed by Niels Provos.
I will try to contact all the authors to get permission to clean this
up.
