If you have copyright concerns, address them to FreeBSD's PR guy, Jordan Hubbard <jkh@FreeBSD.org>. So I've Cc:'d him. If you ask me, that an IRC network is using FreeBSD.org's domain name doesn't constitute copyright violation, particularly since it doesn't resolve to anything belonging to them. Regardless, perhaps a little visit might succeed in persuading them to remove the name. Also, I don't think you need permission to use any of the FreeBSD banners available on www.FreeBSD.org, unless you are going to alter them in some way. Then you'll almost certainly need Marshall Kirk McKusick's permission. See http://www.FreeBSD.org/copyright/ for more information. -- wca To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
