Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.69 Reply-To: John-Mark Gurney Organization: Cu Networking X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386 X-PGP-Fingerprint: B7 EC EF F8 AE ED A7 31 96 7A 22 B3 D8 56 36 F4 X-Files: The truth is out there X-URL: http://resnet.uoregon.edu/~gurney_j/ Sender: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk well.. I was about to fix a problem with contrib/ipfilter/man/Makefile, but I read the copyright message at the top: # (C)opyright 1993, 1994, 1995 by Darren Reed. # # This code may be freely distributed as long as it retains this notice # and is not changed in any way. The author accepts no responsibility # for the use of this software. I hate legaleese, don't you ? I'm sorry, but anything that we can't fix SHOULD NEVER be imported into the tree... I'm going to rewrite the makefile for now... but can we get all the copyright messages changed to the BSD copyright?? or at least allow us to make modifications?? heck, all I was about to do was to replace root and wheel with MANOWN and MANGRP, but this copyright doesn't allow it... ttyl.. -- John-Mark Gurney Modem/FAX: +1 541 683 6954 Cu Networking Live in Peace, destroy Micro$oft, support free software, run FreeBSD
