Yet, there is no reference to the GPLs = in any of the other links (e.g., "The FreeBSD Copyright" pages, the = "FreeBSD Ports redistribution restrictions" pages, etc.). In sum, there = is nothing that says why the GPL's are included as links or how they are = applicable to the FreeBSD software at all. =20 Please advise why these are provided at the FreeBSD website and when, if = ever, they would apply to any use of the FreeBSD software.
