I guess this is a fairly confusing issues .. I found a number of regular
BSD licenses in the kernel , many under include/linux/ ,

include/linux/nfs4_acl.h

in fact most of nfsd is BSD only, at least directly in the .c files.
There could be some statement someplace else that I missed.

include/net/ieee80211_radiotap.h
include/linux/quota.h

Just structures ..

Is it possible that no code header files can be BSD only? From looking
at the directory that is kind of what it looks like.

Daniel
