The current document is at: > https://www.freebsd.org/internal/software-license.html I take it that this is new text meant to replace the current text that is in the committers guide at: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/pref-license.html As to the text in this new version about the All rights reserved phrase the wording "With the ratification of the Berne Convention in 2000, it became obsolete" is more correctly stated as "With the ratification of the Berne Convention in 2000, it became unnecessary". The wording "All rights reserved." are not obsolete and still do carry meaning in law. > -- Brooks -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
