I'll admit I've hesitated to ask this for a long time, but I guess I have to;-)
I've created two daemons for NFS-over-TLS, using the code in
/usr/src/usr.sbin/gssd/gssd.c as a starting point.
--> As such, I left the copyright notice from this file on the two files.
(As you can see, it is a 2 clause FreeBSD one, so the terms aren't
an issue.)
What I am wondering is if I should be adding my name to it as an
additional author or something like that?
(I don't care, but it does seem a little weird that the copyright is held
by Isilon Inc, since I have no connection to them.)
