>Description:
hi. i recently contacted henry spencer, the author of usr.bin/getopt/getop.c,
regarding a lack of license on that file. he identified the work as his own, 
and agreed to place it in the public domain.

i've mailed betbsd people to tell them - it looks like both openbsd and freebsd's
getopt.c are imports from netbsd.

then i look at freebsd tree, and you guys have a README in there saying it's
written by ian darwin. but the initial commit message on getopt.c says it's from
netbsd.
