Is there a canonical > citation I should use? Shorter articles and some chapters in books can often be associated with a specific author, but others are a joint effort of dozens or even hundreds of people. A canonical way to make a citation is to give an URL to the primary location of the document and credit it to the FreeBSD project. Anyone who wishes to follow the matter further can look into the list of FreeBSD contributors, the CVS changelog, and PR history. -- -Chuck
