Hello, I'm Enrico Venezia, I come across in FreeBSD. I thought it's fantastic! I have only to mention the University of California for my project! "3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software must display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors." While I was working on the source code, I discovered that many other files was licensed by other authors. Thare are about 300 files with this sentence "This product includes software developed by <different name from University of California, Berkeley>". So my questions are (and I hope that you can help me): - What mean advertising materials? Do I have to put 300 different sentences in every page of my website, manual pages, etc? - The 4-clause of the license says: "Neither the name of <name> nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.". It is a violation of the clause writing "This product includes software developed by <name>"? I mean, can I write this sentence without specific prior writter permission from the author? - Does the main COPYRIGHT file overwrite other author licenses? Thanks
