DJGPP v2.02 removed the BSD version and replaced it with the version 
written by DJ Delorie which doesn't fall under the BSD Copyright.

And, btw, as of July 1999, the University of California no longer 
requires the blurb about their Copyright to be present in software that 
uses their code.  So the problem doesn't exist anymore.
