Gaah, for soemthing as trivial as strlcpy(), please either just rewrite 
the function (you can only do it in so many ways), since the copyright 
message is _bigger_ and more annoying than the code itself.

Or, just attribute it. Say "this is a trivial implementation 'strlcpy()' 
shamelessly stolen from OpenBSD, originally under a BSD license, converted 
to GPLv2"

That whole "big copyright messages" thign is a _disease_.
