According to http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html the "advertising
clause" has recently been removed from the BSD license, but random.c
from the libc sources has not been updated to reflect this.  If I will
be using random.c in projects in other compilers (I have to make the
same pseudorandom numbers appear on all platforms), do I have to
advertise UC Berkeley and its contributors?
