That also ties in with NIH syndrome. Gnu does that a lot just to make sure they can change to GPLv4 without problems, while Linux is still GPLv2. It's also not just Berkeley, but other people and organizations hold copyrights. From a quick glance, netatalk is by the University of Michigan. Mounting a cd using cd9660, which is still listed as Berkeley, is probably so tested and proven by now, that there would be no benefit to rewriting it other than to change the copyright.
Other open source projects require contributors to sign copyright assignment agreements so all the code is under a single owner.
