Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

The message text is from cp, which has had a nicer message for this since
2007 (PR bin/50656).
As with cp, the exit status changes from 64 to 1.

u_long. Before this change it was of type int for syscalls, but prototypes
in sys/stat.h and documentation for chflags(2) and fchflags(2) (but not
for lchflags(2)) stated that it was u_long. Now some related functions
use u_long type for flags (strtofflags(3), fflagstostr(3)).

with the same name exists, delete that directory first, before performing
the copy. This ensures that mv(1) across devices follows the semantics
of rename(2), as required by POSIX.
This change could introduce the potential of data loss, even if the
copy fails, violating the atomicity properties of rename(2). This is
(mostly) mitigated by first renaming the destination and obliterating
it only after a succesfull copy.
The above logic also led to the introduction of code that will cleanup
the results of a partial copy, if a cross-device copy fails.

This includes adding support for ACLs into cp(1) and mv(1) userspace
utilities.
For mv(1), if _PC_ACL_EXTENDED is in effect for the source AND destination
operands, the destination file's ACLs shall reflect the source.
For cp(1), if _PC_ACL_EXTENDED is in effect for both source and destination
operands, and -p has been specified, the ACLs from the source shall be
preserved on the destination.
