Accusing the University of ``foul play'' is not going to win any converts to the BSD license. _Do_ feel free to write them and persuade them to use a less restrictive license: ``To explore alternate licensing terms, contact the University at csl-dist@cs.utah.edu or +1-801-585-3271.'' Brett probably wouldn't have gone balistic when reading http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/oskit/LICENSE if it had included some important text from the file it references (doc/licensing.tex).
