Another minor licensing conflict...

While I was pondering "so if we have wget, why do we also have ftpgetput.c", 
and reading through the wget code, and noticing that it's not GPL.  It's 
"advertising clause" BSD licensed.  Which is (technically) incompatible with 
the GPL, although since it's a university of california one and not a 
derivative we fall under the license change they issued...

Still don't know why wget and ftpgetput don't share any code, of course...
