Did he mean the UC Berkeley license? Has the situation changed since
1999? Or did he mean the MIT license?

CMU License terms 3 & 4 from Karen Lukas, via Walter C Wong:

I understand that the advertisement clause has been struck from the
official version from Berkeley. (And #4 above looks a lot easier to deal
with than an advertisement clause.) But I am pretty sure the no
endorsement clause remains:

Comparing with the MIT license:

    http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.html

Is the opensource site out of date?
