Hello Paul,

Rather than make confusing annotations, I'll simply re-write some of
the text and let you deduce the changes (and decide whether or not you
want them).  Fair enough?

---
^{FreeBSD} is a derivative of ^{4.4 BSD Lite} for the ^{Intel}
(^{i386/i486/Pentium}) architecture built from the ^{4.4 BSD Lite}
release from the ^{Computer Systems Research Group} (^{CSRG}) at
the ^{University of California, Berkeley}.  It is supported by an
international team of volunteers.
Documentation is available in the 4.4BSD Document Set (Reference \citeref{bsd 44}).
\query{We need a full biblio citation with exact title and publication
date for that (O'Reilly, ISBN 1-56592-082-1), and also a description
suitable for our Resources chapter.}
Information and complete distributions are available over the Internet from
"ftp.FreeBSD.org", with information also available from "info@FreeBSD.org"
(general questions to "questions@FreeBSD.org").
It is also available on CD-ROM sold by, among others, Walnut Creek
CD-ROM (send mail to "info@cdrom.com").
Most of FreeBSD, unlike \linux, is governed by a Berkeley-style license
that permits redistribution for both private and commercial purposes
as long as the code includes a notice acknowledging the copyright of
the Regents of the University of California and the FreeBSD Project.
A few parts of FreeBSD include GNU software and are therefore covered by
the GPL, however.  These are kept in a different part of the source tree.


Thanks!
