One of the requirements for inclusion in FreeBSD is that the code be
UCB style license.

There are non-critical system components which are under GPL or other
license.

The SUP sources are available as a package, with the gzip and other
enhancements (ie: authentication, etc.).  You are free to use them
and distribute them in accordance with the terms from which they were
derived (I can't remember if SUP is UCB'ed or not).


Hey, while you are here: how about a port of some of the cool SGI
software to FreeBSD?  There is an OpenGL implementation avaialbe.
