Software included with FreeBSD will be in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, etc. Other software (ports) is in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin, etc. unless the user desires to install it elsewhere. This is different from the LFS way. One feature of this configuration is the ability to 'swap' application configurations without disturbing the underlying system. startx is part of xinit, in /usr/ports/x11/xinit. xinit is not necessarily a requirement. Handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x11-wm.html wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinit Essentially I think it's kind of like this: Program A uses Program B, so if I install program B i should automatically also get program A.. And that is not true. There is some GPL licensed code in the FreeBSD system, for example groff, and gdb. If you are curious, one way to better understand the licensing in a FreeBSD system is to read the LICENSE, COPYING, and source code files in /usr/src. I think it paints a picture of the history. --=20 Waitman Gobble Los Altos California USA 510-830-7975
