those file).

Title:
  fstab.h license is incomplete

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 12.04, whatever package contains the fstab.h found at
  /usr/include/fstab.h.

  This is a bug in the documentation, and probably not critical since I
  can't imagine UC Berkeley bringing a lawsuit up. Still, I mention it
  since it would be more professional if it were cleaned up and would
  only take 5 minutes or less.

  As I was studying C and reading through source code to understand
  Linux on a deeper level, I noticed that the license in the source code
  comments at the top was incomplete. There is a numbered list of points
  that Berkeley (the copyright holder) requires one to comply with, but
  point 3 is missing.

  The location of the file is /usr/include/fstab.h

  I'm not at my workplace right now (where I'm converting several labs
  from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 12.04), but on my Mac at home the
  /usr/include/fstab.h the license as following:

  /*
