IANAL but the code already included in NetBSD says. for example: /*- * Copyright (c)2008 Citrus Project, * All rights reserved. * * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without * modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions * are met: * 1. Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright * notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer. * 2.
