You, Julian Elischer, were spotted writing this on Mon, May 18, 1998 at 04:25:32PM -0700: > thanks for the clarification.. > that begs the question, can we put it in the CVS tree in the same way.. > (i.e the wrong place with README) I'm not sure that's a Right Thing(tm) to do. After all, these files _are_ encumbered, and in some way more so than GPLed files, which we so love to eschew. I'm not at all thrilled about automatically downloading softupdate files to my CVS repository, either. Finally, putting them into the repository means they're a part of the base system, whether they're in the correct place or not. I think (am I right?) there aren't currently any source files in the base system which demand royalty for some kinds of commercial use. -- Anatoly Vorobey, mellon@pobox.com http://pobox.com/~mellon/ "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly" - G.K.Chesterton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
