Hmmm, at least the NetBSD implementation seems to have a BSD-style license. It's also more recent (first imported in 1997).

Can anyone comment on the functionality of their implementation? Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
