Check out the licence though: *not* BSD and not particularly free. You're licenced to install the stuff on one machine only, can only distribute mods/derived works to other licencees, and Lucent lay claim to a lot of rights over any such derived works -- including the right to sell it if they so choose. Nice to see something like this on BSD though. There are various Linux add-ons that do similar things, that we've been evaluating for a project. I know *I'd* find it cool to use a BSD-derived platform instead.
