OK, I've looked through /usr/src/sys and I've tried to get my
head around this, but I'm still confused :

What, exactly, are the licensing restrictions WRT the 'normal'
(i.e. non-ports, non-packages) distribution of FreeBSD?

If I'm reading the 'README' and 'COPYRIGHT' files correctly
in /usr/src, then the BSD license (without the advertising clause)
applies to all of the directories EXCEPT the /usr/src/gnu directory,
which contains other packages, mostly GPL or LGPL licensed.

Is this correct?  Am I missing something glaringly obvious?
The webpage that refernces this info on freebsd.org only lists
the applicable licenses, but not what license is applicable to
which files.....

Thanks
