103(*) originally BSD+advert, but falls under the blanket
104 conversion to BSD-no-advert, because it was originally
105 part of the UCB BSD distro.

108 on BSD Unix files was officially rescinded by the

111 that clause 3 is "hereby deleted in its entirety."

114cygutils. However, once the `sysvinit' package was added to

122were previously provided by cygutils. However, they were removed in
b87221e3 123version 1.3.0 because the `util-linux' package was added to the

124cygwin distribution, and it provides those utilities. In fact,
125it was from util-linux that the versions in cygutils were originally
126derived.
