https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D242923 --- 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 hyper= bola project is "a hard fork of the OpenBSD kernel and userspace including new c= ode written under GPLv3 and LGPLv3 to replace GPL-incompatible parts and non-fr= ee 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 Relea= se 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 inter= est for us at this time. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
