I think the principle concern here is that any arrangement "the project" enters into be transferrable to its user base. In other words, it would do no good for the project to get redistribution rights limited to the project but not to 3rd parties who want to further redistribute FreeBSD bits. Perhaps what you've been willing to offer every 4-6 months takes care of this issue, but I'm sadly unable to remember any of the text from the last time you did. :) Perhaps we could revisit this One More Time in a little Keith to Core pow-wow? I don't think we're going to settle this in a multi-hundred-way discussion, but we might in a smaller working group. - Jordan ----- End forwarded message ----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
