 Does this sentence:
 
 	As of July 2003 the OpenBSD firewall software application known
 	as PF was ported to FreeBSD 5.3.
 
 mean:
 
 	*From* July 2003 the OpenBSD firewall software application known
 	as PF was ported to FreeBSD 5.3.
 
 ? Shouldn't it then be:
 
 	As of July 2003 the OpenBSD firewall software application known
 	as PF was ported to FreeBSD.
 
 (without 5.3). Maybe it should look like:
 
 	As of July 2003 the OpenBSD firewall software application known
 	as PF was ported to FreeBSD. It first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3
 	but was available in ports earlier, from late 2003.
 
 Because if not, it seems strange to me, that it was ported in 2003 into
 FreeBSD 5.3, which was released in 2004.
 
 But again, I am not an english native speaker, so it may be 100% correct
 and I understand it wrong.
