Should we remove that note simply?
Yes, that seems to like something which should have been part of that commit.

Bug #20395: Invalid license note in vsnprintf.c
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20395#change-107505
* Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch)
* Status: Open
* ruby -v: ruby 3.3.0 (2023-12-25 revision 5124f9ac75) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN, 3.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
I am looking into Ruby licenses and I stumble upon vsnprintf.c, namely about these lines:
~~~
/*
* IMPORTANT NOTE:
* --------------
* From
ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
* paragraph 3 above is now null and void.
*/
~~~
I doubt the note is valid since commit:git|626f1ee196fe06514d66771ff0e3f82d7686af25, which
actually removes the 3rd clause, while the (broken) URL refers to "4bsd". Can
somebody please review? The note from the URL can be likely viewed e.g.
[
here](https://www.freebsd.org/copyright/license/)
