The specific license terms of FreeBSD were not the topic of discussion. All in all, I think FreeBSD was fairly well represented, positively even, and _in general_, in a correct manner. Do you think that lawyers are incapable of understanding the pretense of when a message is written in basic generality? A better way to engage Mr. Nader and Mr. Love than screaming at them for not being perfect would be to write them a letter telling about the Berkeley License and what good it has done for the world. Undoubtably, that is why they bothered to mention the GNU License--I'm sure many GNU supporters have written them saying, "Have you heard about GNU? It's great! It's done......" Get what I'm saying? I can understand why it irked you, but it's really a moot point. Don't waste your time. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
