I'm not really concerned on the new license stile problem
because my opinion is that there is no real interest in keeping
old release under the previous license policy.
Of course I could be wrong.

I'm actually worried about clause (c) because as the software
(and models first of all) is freely distributed in any case we can't
assure what the following official statement requires

  hereby assures the University of California
  that the software and documentation provided
  hereunder or any immediate product (including
  processes and services) produced directly by
  use of the software and/or documentation is
  not intended for, and will not be shipped,
  either directly or indirectly, to Iraq, Mon-
  tenegro, Serbia, or any country listed in
  Country Group S (Libya), and Z (Cuba, North
  Korea, Vietnam), as specified in Part 770 of
  the Export Administration Regulations of the
  United States Department of Commerce, and the
  Foreign Assets Control Regulation of the
  United States Department of the Treasury.
