You are making sweeping generalizations. Please stop and be specific which parts of the military. It is correct for the CIA. The CIA[*] will not let you bring in any download bits off the net (or floppies containing them) to compile locally and install. HOWEVER, if the bits come on a CDROM from a commercial vendor, they are "OK". So in the FreeBSD case, packages are on the commercial 4-disc set, and thus can be installed. In older days for Solaris, one had to find a CD offering from say Walnut Creek CDROM that contained precompiled versions of GNU bits for Solaris. Again, if it was something their purchasing could buy from a vendor an receive it was OK. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) [*] yes I did my time as a cleared Beltway Bandit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
