Then. Please. Do.

I would have never brought this up (nor would the OpenBSD list before
me) if the right license was here.

Geez.  What a wasted amount of effort.  If anything to be learned from
here, it's use the right boilerplate when you include something into the
distro.

Otherwise, smart people will react to license notices because yes
indeed, THESE MATTER.
