It means nothing of the sort. Unless DJBDNS explicitly says that a change of ownership (company bought, merger,... ) requires doing the above very silly thing, there is no legal risk whatsoever. A company being sold to another company is a very, very, very different beast then a company selling software commercially. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
