The only way I see to "fix" this is to totally close off access to the source code. People will see only RELEASE's and that is all they will know about.. so ignorance *is* blitz. So who is up for turning off the CVSup servers? Face it people -- if the source to any project is completely open, you have to understand how it is treated (ie, terms etc..) internally. It was no different when I worked at HP. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
