YOU ARE INCORRECT.

BSD License *REQUIRES* that you maintain the copyright notices.

(that's from the errno.h file from 4.4BSD-lite)

And no, there's no USL copyright on errno.h, per the settlement.

Also, it is unlawful, and in bad taste, to take BSD licensed code, file off the copyright, and then release it under the GPL. I'm not saying that happened in the case of errno.h, but it has happened in the past.
