During the translation of various C code to Go code (presumably), it looks as though the standard Go copyright header and license notice were combined with the existing Inferno/Plan9 license in a single file. The pattern typically seen is the top of the file has this:
// Copyright 2009 The Go Authors. All rights reserved.
// Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style
// license that can be found in the LICENSE file.
Which is then followed eventually by an old Inferno/Plan9 copyright notice like this one:
// Inferno utils/include/ar.h
