Just search for the string "REGENTS" in these license copies. Often, the name of the copyright holder is changed, but the following disclaimer is copied verbatim, even though "regents" doesn't have much meaning when the copyright holder (or distributor) is not an organization with such a supervisory body. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
