I recall that earlier you were quite fixated on the FreeBSD license, and diligently sought what permissions/postings might be needed [1]. I requested that when you refer to a VuXML entry, particularly in the context of the FreeBSD Project--- commit logs, mailing lists, whatever--- to please use the vuxml.freebsd.org URL. You said that you preferred to use your personal web page URL on the basis that it is the project page for portaudit. OK, but portaudit != VuXML. Please, refer to the portaudit project page for portaudit. But refer to the VuXML pages for VuXML entries and information on VuXML. By the way, if one wishes to point to the portaudit tool, what URL gives the best description? Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine / nectar@celabo.org / jvidrine@verio.net / nectar@freebsd.org [1] To recap for others: The content is the FreeBSD Documentation License... one need only reproduce the copyright statement somewhere in the rendered version. For example, at http://vuxml.freebsd.org/, I've taken the approach of putting this at the bottom of each page: ``Copyright © 2003, 2004 Jacques Vidrine and contributors. Please see the source of this document for full copyright information.'' The comments of the document contain the license in its entirety. Plenty of other approaches are suitable. The BSD license is one of the friendliest in the world, letting you do almost anything you want with the covered material, short of claiming your dog wrote it or suing the author because it contains egregious typos.
