What are the goals of FreeBSD? pharagraph 2 That code in our source tree which falls under the GNU General Public License (GPL) or GNU Library General Public License (LGPL) comes with slightly more strings attached, though at least on the side of enforced access rather than the usual opposite. Due to the additional complexities that can evolve in the commercial use of GPL software, we do, however, endeavor to replace such software with submissions under the more relaxed BSD copyright whenever possible. op-ed: You may want to clarify, "enforced access", that phrase will confuse some of the DOS/win9x people. It will start another Q not answer this one as completly as possible. Do you believe a link back to GNU home page would help.

Paragraph 3 was: (see the questions on Q: .5. and Q: .6.) op-ed: Where you going to leave Q:5 in or replace it (& others)?
