You may want to cc: jkh@freebsd.org and ask him about this. I think you can go ahead and do it. The copyrights are all berkeley based, which means you can do anything you want to it, so long as the copyright is referenced. I would wait a week and get either the 2.1.7 supplemental stable release, or the 2.2.0 release. JAEIL KIM wrote: > > Dear Sirs, 10 February 1997 > > Hello!
