PS: src/msun was initially imported from NetBSD in 1994. In 1995, jtc
relaxed the copyright on most of the files in msun/i387. This was mostly
never imported, so that NetBSD has files with no copyright ("Public
domain") where FreeBSD still has ones with a 4-clause BSD licence. This
could be fixed as part of fixing the ids. We really want the 1995 ones
with their copyright changes and ids so as not to merge non-administrivial
changes.
