This isn't our problem. I'm surprised to hear this coming from you, actually. I disagree strongly that discouraging commercial vendors from being able to integrate "stock" parts of freebsd into their product is "not our problem." One of the drawing cards for freebsd is that commercial vendors _can_ take our code and use it in any manner they see fit. The list of exceptions is long enough already, I haven't seen a compelling reason to make it longer. Doug -- "Live free or die" - State motto of my ancestral homeland, New Hampshire Do YOU Yahoo!?
