In tar-1.20/rmt/rmt.c is written:

The problem, in my opinion, is:
"
... and use acknowledge that the
software was developed by the University of California, Berkeley. ...
"
It is very similar to Original BSD License.
Can be considered GPL-Incompatible Free Software License ?
P.S.: Tar version 1.22 has the same file.
