The name of the author may not be used to endorse or promote products This is the standard Berkeley copyright with the standard Berkeley mispelling. It (or an upper case variant) is used in 6580 regular files out of 17612 in /usr/src 4.4BSD-Lite2. Do you really wish to fix them all? (y or n) :-). The correct spelling is used in 42 files in Lite2 (one is the dictionary :-). I think errors in copyrights can only be fixed by the copyright holder, but this problem will go away when clause 3 is removed (as permitted by Berkeley for most files not including non-Berkeley ones like chio.c).
