Sean,

I'm the manager of the FreeBSD ports collection.  (Look at
www.freebsd.org and www.freebsd.org/ports for the description of our
project.)

Anyway, we recently came across your software, called Big Brother,
which includes this in the README:

===
License Agreement
=================
Big Brother is non-commercial software.  That means it can't be sold
or included in any commercial product without written permission from
Sean MacGuire.
===

The FreeBSD CDROM is not really a "commercial product" in a sense that 
it does not restrict redistribution in any form.  In fact, the exact
same files on the CDROM is available from the ftp sites
(ftp.freebsd.org and mirrors).

So, can I have your permission to include bb-src.tgz and compiled
binary in our CDROM? :)
