I disagree with this. other is too generic. I don't care if most of the directories called "gnu" in the current tree contain GPLd code. How about contrib, which contains GPLd code too, but no gnu dir? It will be plainly obvious from the copyright I'd put at the beginning of any files in src/lib/libccompat/gnu that they're not under the GPL. There is simply no reason to assume that anything under a gnu directory is GPLd, or that anything GPLd is going to be under a gnu directory (which it's not.) > > -- > Steve > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message > Brian Fundakowski Feldman _ __ ___ ____ ___ ___ ___ green@FreeBSD.org _ __ ___ | _ ) __| \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! _ __ | _ \._ \ |) | http://www.FreeBSD.org/ _ |___/___/___/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
