Much better.   I personally think that mentioning the historical 
connection (i.e. code developed at Berkeley, released under BSD) would 
help quelch the "why not change?" questions.  At least I think it makes 
a simple answer to such questions.  If someone doesn't think that it is  important to respect the license under which
theearly developers 
 
released their code, that's a clue that they're not clueful enough to 
bother talking to, isn't it?
