That brings up something that I *just* noticed (18 months late). In /sys/kern/init_main.c (2.2.*), the following copyright appears at boot time. Copyright (c) 1992-1998 FreeBSD Inc.\n" (In -current/-stable this is in /sys/copyright.h) There are no files in the entire FreeBSD kernel distribution that are assigned to FreeBSD Inc. (which is the company you and David started if I understand things correctly). Why is this copyright there? 'wosch' added it, but I have no idea since he had no right to assign the kernel or any files to this. (Not that I care a whole lot, but it was confusing why it is there....)
