https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=242923 --- Comment #1 from Pedro F. Giffuni <pfg@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Pedro F. Giffuni from comment #0) ,,, Since the link is now dead, I'll add some background information. The hyperbola project is "a hard fork of the OpenBSD kernel and userspace including new code written under GPLv3 and LGPLv3 to replace GPL-incompatible parts and non-free ones" https://www.hyperbola.info/news/announcing-hyperbolabsd-roadmap/ They send a report to libertyBSD (another OpenBSD fork), where they claimed: <quote> The following files do not allow distribution. This was fixed in newer versions, including SoftFloat 3. "The restrictions on legal use have been clarified (not applicable to Release 3 or later)." http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat.html lib/libkern/milieu.h lib/libkern/softfloat.c lib/libkern/softfloat.h lib/libkern/softfloat-macros.h lib/libkern/softfloat-specialize.h </quote> They also mention a bunch of files without license that are of little interest for us at this time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
