Insofar as that one statement goes, I agree. But if so, then Brett really should stop bitching about rules that haven't been published yet and the "level playing field" that can't possibly have previously existed, because up until now Walnut Creek has been the FreeBSD trademark holder, and legally they have had the power to decide what could be done with it. It's like bitching that the guys over at Red Hat won't let you ship a cut-down version of Red Hat Linux, with your own custom stuff added, and then call the result "Red Hat Linux". Just plain stupid, IMO. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
