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.
Per POSIX, allow passing multiple pathnames to uncompress -c, concatenating
the uncompressed data.
Passing multiple pathnames to compress -c remains disallowed, since the
result cannot be decompressed.

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 index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.
is in accordance with the information provided at
ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
Also add $FreeBSD$ to a few files to keep svn happy.

read at least 1 byte from the input file without problems. This
fixes a bug in uncompress(1) that causes the accidental removal
of files that happen to have the same name as the output file,
even when the uncompression fails and is aborted, i.e.:
$ echo hello world > hello
$ touch hello.Z
$ ls -l hello*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos 12 Jun 14 13:33 hello
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos 0 Jun 14 13:33 hello.Z
$ ./uncompress -f hello
uncompress: hello.Z: Inappropriate file type or format
$ ls -l hello*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 giorgos giorgos 0 Jun 14 13:33 hello.Z

of the recent WARNS commits. The idea is:
1) FreeBSD id tags should follow vendor tags.
2) Vendor tags should not be compiled (though copyrights probably should).
3) There should be no blank line between including cdefs and __FBSDIF.
compress uses setfile() to make flags, ownership and mode of the output
the same as those of the original. However, if the filesystem holding the
output file doesn't support these operations, compress prints a warning.
This bites a bit with NFS directories, which always fail the chflags()
operation. If the file system doesn't support the operation, then the
flags data wasn't valid on the original file anyway, so the warning is
spurious.
