The words "Redistributions" in the FreeBSD License includes "porting"? But I heard, the algorithm of the source code wasn't preserved by the copyright. In the case of the porting from FreeBSD to other different flavor OS (e.g. Linux), the algorithm is used. But the variables or way of writing is not used. In this case what should I do? Ethically I should notice FreeBSD license. But.... It's a bit contradiction, I think.
