However look at:

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html

They say that 'Dean Hal Varian at the University of California took up the 
cause, and championed it with the administration. In June 1999, after two
years of
discussions, the University of California removed this clause from the 
license of BSD. '

So all is not lost!! It would be enough for us to have spice under that new
licence!!
