From what I would ascertain it would, logically, fall under a copyright to
UCB if it comes from UCB, and under 32V's (questionable) copyright if not.
Oldest BSD I have any sort of code for is 4.3 and at least by that point
most of the Berkeley stuff is marked with this copyright string:
/*
* Copyright (c) 198x Regents of the University of California.
* All rights reserved. The Berkeley software License Agreement
* specifies the terms and conditions for redistribution.
*/
Some earlier stuff only has the first line.
-uso.
