Much better. I personally think that mentioning the historical
connection (i.e. code developed at Berkeley, released under BSD) would
help quelch the "why not change?" questions. At least I think it makes
a simple answer to such questions. If someone doesn't think that it is
important to respect the license under which the early developers
released their code, that's a clue that they're not clueful enough to
bother talking to, isn't it?
