Actually, if you make the 3 lines above part of the commit log, =E2=80=98git
format-patch=E2=80=99 will preserve them, and so the patch will be directly
applicable with =E2=80=98git am=E2=80=99=E2=80=93which is better.  :-)

Anyway I=E2=80=99ve now pushed the patch, thanks!

This seems to be the explanation: at some point UC Berkeley changed the
license to BSD-3, which it can do as the sole copyright holder.

Thanks,
