	Because we cannot.  We (ie BSDs) run on the berkeley style
license, while RedHat runs on GPL -- you can't import the stuff without
keeping the original license, I believe.

	The toolset I have in mind will be mostly for workstations that
need to keep track of the servers.  It'll be neat-o, and what can we 
lose from it?
