Might it be even *easier*, to avoid all this hassle, to take a new copy of 
vm_random.c from a recent BSD, which is one without the advertising clause, 
do a diff, make required changes (without verbatin compying), and use that 
file? The new file will be a derrivitive work of the more recent vm_random.c, 
not the old one, so all this will be moot.
