Hmm, well, if it's really _public domain_, i.e. noone claims any right on it, then we (``The FreeBSD Project'' or even The Regents...) can claim the copyright on it as well. That's what public domain means. If it's not public domain (but freeware in any other sense), some copyright of the original authors should be added. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
