I actually feel somewhat worried about this - that copyright is GREAT
when there is a single copyright holder ("University of California at
Berkeley and its contributors"), not so great when you have about 500
people with their own individual copyrights thrown all around the
tree.  If you derive something in this case, you have to go carefully
through everything you use, and check what the copyright on each
individual file (for your documentation) and each individual feature
you use in advertising.

Checking all files could be a major pain; not doing it throws you wide 
open for lawsuits.
