That applies to the files gotten *from Berkeley*. > In addition, many 3rd-party BSD-style licenses > consist solely of the first two terms. You have found a file which does not fall into this list of "many". This file is apparently one of the files behind the use of the word "many" instead of the word "all". > But bcrypt.c still contains the 3rd term: > > http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/crypt/bcrypt.c?rev=1.24; > content-type=text%2Fplain > > Is bcrypt.c still under the 4 term license?
