I suppose that depends on how far back you want to go.  I distinctly
recall another case of code being copied without retaining a notice,
and I was personally flamed quite vehemently when I mentioned it in in
a private forum.  I can't claim there are more -- though I do wonder
-- because I haven't paid much attention to FreeBSD code since then.

At any rate, this discussion can only lead to more flames.
