Blah, you're all being very lame about this, IMHO. If people aren't going to credit work, then that's their problem. They're losers and probably have some sort of penis envy problem too. If you get depressed or angered over this then I reckon you've got bigger problems to worry about. Doing the work is more important than how many places your name is up in lights (well, I think so anyway). If you feel really like you've been robbed, speak to your lawyer. I don't understand why it is difficult for anyone to acknowledge the origins of source code written because so long as it is redistributable (as it is for nearly all *BSD code), it simply shouldn't matter. Just leave your ego at home. hmpf Too bad someone didn't see fit to cc the openbsd in this as well. I suspect there is blame to be shared there too, if blaming is what people want to do. Quite pathetic, really. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
