If I remember my history right[1], SGI based Irix on BSD extensively and became the first POSIX compatable BSD. See if you can play off some sense of loyalty. Explain to them that using a dual license would permit even further use of the product. Is there a stock "Please use a BSD license instead" letter that is kept around for these purposes? Jamie [1] This is always questionable. And when the history doesn't fit what I need it to say, I change it anyway:) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
