As long as you can make a "binary weapon" out of this, where we
incorporate only those non-poison-pilled portions into FreeBSD (just
as OpenBSD has done) and leave it up to the user to add the specially
licenced files, I don't see a problem.  In fact, I'd really LIKE to
see this happen so that those who just want to play with the soft
update code and have no commercial aspirations can do so.  Heck,
even the commercial folks can play, they'll just have to line up
and pay Kirk like you guys did. ;)
