That6's the advertising clause which rewuired any advertising material to 
claim something like "Includes stuff from *BSD". That has long been taken 
out, but there's some projects that still have it.

The acknowledgementment means in source code original license and credits and 
in binary some cridits for example in the help|about or the man page. Where 
it's most appropriate (though the legalese doesn't specifically say that 
because of course it opens up a debate about the definition of 
"appropriate" ;-)

IANAL
