The classic BSD copyright also includes the advertising requirement:

 * 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.
 * 4. Neither the name of the University nor the names of its contributors
 *    may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software
 *    without specific prior written permission.

which you'll have to pay attention to if advertising features derived
from different parts of the software.  Both 3. and 4. are now
gone in the suggested FreeBSD copyright in /usr/share/examples/etc
in order to make things simpler, but the older copyright is present
in many places.
