Has the person who is integrating this into BSD/OS returned from vacation yet? I have the impression that the exact details of the licensing will influence many people's vote on the issue of bringing lprNG into freebsd to replace the current lpr. Assuming I have kept track of this thread correctly, I think the above message(s) are the only ones who claim that lprNG will in fact be available as a BSD license, as opposed to the slightly different artistic license. (I am not looking to debate the relative merits of the licenses, I'm just saying that it looks like a genuine BSD license would make this more attractive in some people's eyes, so I want a confirmation on that detail). --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
