That won't help.  Theo already went on a quest to remove the licensing
clause wherever possible.  The strptime license is from Powerdog Industries,
not Berkeley.  It originally had a much more restrictive license that didn't
even allow modification, and Powerdog reluctantly removed that restriction.
But the ad clause remains.  I spent a few minutes with google and couldn't
find a free version of strptime.

Here is the license as it appears in the FreeBSD version of strptime.c.

 * Date: Thu, 05 Jun 1997 23:17:17 -0400  
 * From: Kevin Ruddy <kevin.ruddy@powerdog.com>
 * To: James FitzGibbon <james@nexis.net>
 * Subject: Re: Use of your strptime(3) code (fwd)
 * 
 * The reason for the "no mod" clause was so that modifications would
 * come back and we could integrate them and reissue so that a wider 
 * audience could use it (thereby spreading the wealth).  This has   
 * made it possible to get strptime to work on many operating systems.
 * I'm not sure why that's "plain unacceptable" to the FreeBSD team.
 * 
 * Anyway, you can change it to "with or without modification" as
 * you see fit.  Enjoy.
