I won't write non-free software, just for interest:

The FAQ (2.11) says, that it is enough to mention the BSD copyright and
tell
how to get DJGPP in the documentation if one intends to distribute
binaries
(with or without source). If I don't misunderstand the notice below, it is
also required to mention SGI's and HP's copyright in the docs, if the STL
is
used.

They way it is written also means that notice has to be included in source
only distributions (`permission to _use_ [...] provided that both that
copyright notice [...] appear in supporting documentation')

Did I misunderstand it?
