Well, someone's contacted me about using it so I'll let them decide where they think it should go and what to do with it. As far as I'm concerned, you can do what you want with it. It's not going to be a mainstream part of FreeBSD so if I or someone else continue to work on it then it will be as an independant project, much like any other add-in functionality and can probably be "ported" when it's ready for use. It's not actually going anywhere anyway, since it'll always be available in the Attic should someone feel a burning desire to look at the code. -- Paul Richards, Netcraft Ltd.
