With respect to these , there is NO any SOLE OWNERSHIP transfer possibility for the prior works. For NEW works , you should find EACH developer and BUY their developments with a PROHIBITION agreement that the sole owner of their works are you if they accept such an offer . This action does NOT prevent others to develop FreeBSD sources any further . Then , best action for you to ask to a lawyer before asking such a question and learn its rules . With this knowledge level , you are very open to be misleaded and waste your resources , because in the world , you may find persons which they will try to sell to you even Freedom Monument of the USA , let alone FreeBSD sole ownership . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
