You're asking *us* instead of a lawyer? :) But what did you not understand about the previous answer you just got? Most of FreeBSD is under a BSD license, which means "do nearly anything you want with it". Some *parts* of a standard FreeBSD distro are under more restrictive licenses, and you need to either comply with those licenses, or remove those parts from your derivative distribution. Now, if that's opaque to you, hire a lawyer. Now. -- Randal L.
