Because the BSD copyright has no enforcement, I don't think the
copyright holder is important --- look at all the companies that take
our code and use it in their commercial products.  We rebrand code we
accept so it is clear who maintains it;  note we take NetBSD code and
add our copyright name to theirs and distribute it as our own.
