While meaning no disrespect to Darren with this followup. What good does a signed memorandum with FreeBSD do if I decide at some point (which I won't) to take the FreeBSD source and branch it into my own variant? This is how the various BSDs came about in the first place. It does seem rather restrictive of a license for the FreeBSD core system. Why can't this be released under the BSD license? At least the code in the FreeBSD system. Perhaps we need a warning in the GENERIC and LINT files about this, in much the same way "softupdates" was labeled.
