He got these, but somewhat out of context:

---
This software is a component of "386BSD" developed by
William F. Jolitz, TeleMuse.

I also like the expression of this, especially since it isn't a requirement;
CMU got to express it's feelings without placing restrictions:
----
Carnegie Mellon requests users of this software to return to
Software Distribution Coordinator or Software.Distribution@CS.CMU.EDU
School of Computer Science
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh PA 15213-3890
any improvements or extensions that they make and grant Carnegie the
rights to redistribute these changes.
----
And this is just the kernel from:
cd /sys
find . -type f -exec grep -A 1 contributed {} \; -print | more
