I understand what it's doing. I don't understand why they didn't rewrite simple utilities like this to avoid ugly bullshit just in the name of copyright notifications. I understand the BSD license of the time required this sort of notification, but why not either reimplement the utility or write the notification in a manner that doesn't require stupid tricks? Paul, do they still use the RCSid stuff? Just out of curiosity.
