Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I get asked questions about FreeBSD and open source licenses (I don't know much about legal issues, but I am familiar with the BSD and GPL licenses). I'd like to follow-up on a freebsd-questions post of 9-nov-11 by swear@blarg.net (Gary W. Swearingen "RE: What is FreeBSD, Inc?") containing: > "The FreeBSD Copyright" at > http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html > claims that "FreeBSD, Inc." owns copyright on something, > presumably more than that page, though it's not clear what. When someone asks me who is "FreeBSD, Inc.", what do I tell them? The FreeBSD Project? The FreeBSD Mall, Inc.? Walnut Creek (by way of WindRiver)? The fellow that owns Walnut Creek? etc... I think I understand that whatever FreeBSD, Inc., is, it is not the FreeBSD Foundation. The answers to the previous post were sort of "its in the works." Thanks for any advice/info. Please cc me directly on any response, I apologize for being maxed-out on mailing-list bandwith!
