What planet are you on, John?  NetBSD's code is NO MORE ENCUMBERED than
FreeBSD's.  The fact that we bitched about a copyright notice botch DOES
NOT MEAN that NetBSD's code is somehow "more encumbered".

I suspect if I removed your copyright notice from the async i/o stuff
you wrote, put my own at the top, and then committed it to the NetBSD
source tree, you'd be a bit annoyed, too.

NOW...

Doug - I'm sorry that I came off rather harshly.  I could have, and should
have, reacted differently.  The notice botch was one of many (unrelated)
straws that broke the camel's back.  That's not really an excuse for my
behavior, but please accept my apology.
