The BSDL says: "Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:" "Redistribution": (Merriam-Webster) 1 : To alter the distribution of; reallocate "use": Already discussed ad nauseam, but (Webster 1913) 8. [In this sense probably a corruption of OF. oes, fr. L. opus need, business, employment, work. Cf. Operate.] (Law) The benefit or profit of lands and tenements. Use imports a trust and confidence reposed in a man for the holding of lands. "source" (Webster 1913) 2. The rising from the ground, or beginning, of a stream of water or the like; a spring; a fountain. "binary" (Webster 1913) Compounded or consisting of two things or parts; characterized by two (things) "permitted" (Merriam-Webster) 3 : to make possible "condition" (Webster 1913) 1. Mode or state of being; state or situation with regard to external circumstances or influences, or to physical or mental integrity, health, strength, etc.; predicament; rank; position, estate. "met", imp. and p.p. of "meet" (Webster 1913) 1. To join, or come in contact with; esp., to come in contact with by approach from an opposite direction; to come upon or against, front to front, as distinguished from contact by following and overtaking. So according to the BSDL: "Reallocation and benefit or profit of land and tenements, in the form of a spring or fountain or in two parts, with or without modification, are made possible provided that one comes in contact with the following modes or states of being:" [Translating the conditions into Terry-speak is an exercise for the reader.] - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
