There was recently a big announcement on Slashdot about IPFilter not being free software, with the eventual culmination of festivities being the OpenBSD crew removing it from their CVS tree. Looks like they jumped the gun. Just looked through the source code on a 4 month old install of 4.2-stable and checked out all the ipfilter related copyrights, both kernel and userland code... They are all BSDL or simpler (if that's a legal term:). Darren Reed mentioned he had his own arrangements with the NetBSD and FreeBSD core.
