However, while both notices are very likely to be visible to the individual looking to purchase a CD, neither are in the normal "line of sight" for people downloading FreeBSD 4.0. My suggestion is that this be remedied, by placing such statements in the release announcement, and the release notes. I expect most people, downloaders and CD purchasers, read those. -- When asked if it is true that he uses his wheelchair as a weapon he will reply: "That's a malicious rumour.
