Annoying. *sigh* No, that's not what it means. If you look at the license therms on the file in question, you'll note that they are pure BSD-style. "This is rumor control. Here are the facts:" The problem was that a substantial chunk of code was copied verbatim, and the copyright and license terms that applied to that code were omitted. It's been taken care of (although, I apparently caught Peter in "wow, I really need sleep" mode; sorry about that Peter...) No ill will was intended (indeed, I really wanted FreeBSD to pick up that code) ... I just wanted to make sure my copyright notice and license terms weren't omitted (which isn't an unreasonable request). ...so, now that you know the facts, let's not go perpetuating any false rumors. And, can we please _not_ turn this into a big, drawn-out thread? Ciao. Jason R.
