Searching the internet, people claim it's just public domain...

My topic/dhry-unsquashed branch has my rationale:

    FreeBSD uses BSD-2-Clause for this, which is probably the closest to the
    original intention of the authors.
    Augment with GPL-2.0-only, as this now calls into internal Linux APIs.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
