Anil pointed to the OpenBSD version of this page which has that clause
removed. It would simplify things to use their version (of the header
too for consistency)?  We are probably not comfortable with just
rescinding the clause ourselves?

If you rescind it yourself, you'll need to go through the FreeBSD CVS history

doesn't matter).

According to cvs history both NetBSD and OpenBSD did that in 2003. Now
it's just about to compare whose content matches most with FreeBSD's
implementation. :)
