I seem to recall noting that the vmspace sharing code was somewhat based on FreeBSD's (although it is a little different, and the data structure were more-or-less ready for it, and the implementation _is_ obvious) when I committed it to the NetBSD source tree... but _I DID NOT INFRINGE ON ANYONE'S COPYRIGHT_... that is the issue. John: So nice of you to reply in your typical "we love everyone" warm-fuzzy manner, rather than addressing the SERIOUS ISSUE of a FreeBSD developer REMOVING copyright notices from code, copied _verbatim_ (right down to the comments), REPLACING IT WITH HIS OWN.
