+To All Licensees, Distributors of Any Version of BSD:
+
+As you know, certain of the Berkeley Software Distribution ("BSD") source code files
+require that further distributions of products containing all or portions of the
+software, acknowledge within their advertising materials that such products contain
+software developed by UC Berkeley and its contributors.
+
+Specifically, the provision reads:
+
+ * 3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
+ * must display the following acknowledgement:
+ * This product includes software developed by the University of
+ * California, Berkeley and its contributors.
+
+Effective immediately, licensees and distributors are no longer required to include
+the acknowledgement within advertising materials. Accordingly, the foregoing paragraph
+of those BSD Unix files containing it is hereby deleted in its entirety.
