A few of the games in the :distro are trademark infringements. While the product I'm developing that :uses FreeBSD doesn't have the games installed, it brought up the comment :from our lawyers "What else are they infringing on that we *are* using?" : :(see trek, mille, boggle, tetris, wargames) : :Kevin Tetris hasn't been in the distribution for a while. Your lawyers need a dose of reality if they think the existance of the other games in a distribution could ever come back to haunt you or your company. Tell them to screw their heads on straight and try again. If your really worried, just delete them. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
