Back in 2013 I asked the longest-serving BSD maintainer (the one who organized
the initial open source full OS releases at the Berkeley CSRG, and is still
involved with BSD today) if he was ok with the name. I wouldn't have kept using
it if he wasn't.

I emailed him a couple days ago to confirm, but when I attached his response the
mailing list rejected it because of the attachment.

I posted a cut-and-paste subset to this list at
http://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/2018-October/003658.html
and the full email (headers and all) was attached to
http://lists.landley.net/pipermail/toybox-landley.net/2018-October/009780.html
on the toybox list.
