So far, my stance would be that BSD license files are still fair to use as
is, and that I could import them into the OpenBSD tree without getting it
encumbered with the GPL license.
I definitely don't want to get into licensing fights. I just want to
point out that the current version of gprof in the GNU binutils
requires BFD, which is under the GPL.
