Out of curiosity (I might have missed the original thread on this) why
is the three clause BSD license used instead of the two-clause or
MIT/X11 license?  Anyone getting the software can opt to use the LGPL
license and use the organizations/contributors in advertising under that
license anyhow, so I don't see the clause adding anything of value
except a bad taste in some people's mouths who don't like that third
clause.  ;-)
