Well, I guess you'd have to talk to -core, but I think you'd get some extremely violent disagreements from certain people who used to be at CSRG (Kirk McKusick?) if they were so stupid as to try to do this. The stuff I heard from Jordan this past weekend gave me every indication that people can use the code as they want (pursuant to the license), and they can use the name "BSD" however they want in their products and company names, so long as they don't try to confuse people into thinking it's FreeBSD. So, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc... are perfectly safe. -- These are my opinions and should not be taken as official Skynet policy ========================================================================= Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Sys.
