How many $$ have you made over the years using donated FreeBSD code? Compare that to the amount of code you have contributed, and one could argue that what you have gained from FreeBSD *FAR* outweighs your individual contributions. Now, you've got an existing piece of work that you're un-willing to donate unless you can make a $$ out of it (which is within your rights), but then you have the *GALL* to complain about no-one else doing it. That's cheap Terry, CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!!!! I'm going to remember this in future dealings with you.... Nate
