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.

Also add $FreeBSD$ to a few files to keep svn happy.

to "Office Location:" to disambiguate what is expected. Add a note
to the man page to indicate that the office location and office phone
fields are concatenated and printed with the heading "Office:" by
finger(1). Swap the order of the home and office phone fields in the
man page to match the order of the fields in the editor.
If any programs interact with chpass(1) and expect "Location:" instead
of "Office Location:" as the prompt, either this change will have to be
reverted or the other programs will have to be changed.
PR: docs/7533
Add functionality for support for more than 4 subfields within gcos. chsh,
chpass etc did not parse beyond the 4th field previously and so truncated
gcos on updating the database.
from a script as if it was done in the interactive editor.
When reassembling the gecos string, trim any excess trailing commas, they
look ugly in the passwd file. :-)
Have a simple Makefile tweak to prevent mortal users from changing their
fullname. As ISP's we have seem some real bizzare stuff here..
When decoding the change/expire string, allow the month number as a
synonym for the name of the month.. (ie: 1 as well as Jan or January)
Note that using numbers means there's a chance that you can get bitten
if you're not used to the American DD-MM-YY order.
restricted. Am I the only one who sees the absurdity of having chfn be
a link to chpass, and then denying users permission to use chpass to
change their full names?
Of course, chpass has a much more severe bug in it, which is that it
allows users to change their password database info without first
asking them for their password. I hope to fix this at some point
so that I can merge ypchpass, ypchfn, ypchsh and chpass into one
program (password authentication is required for changing NIS data).
