McArdle scribbled: # What is the connection / disconnection between GNU and BSD UNIX? FreeBSD's core and parts of it's userland are placed under the BSD license whereas the rest of the userland and most of the applications found in the Ports collection are placed under the GNU Public License. The GPL and the BSDL has always been a very heated argument, and therefore I will not state which one I'm for or against... but I will say that each has it's place and are better in different ways and from different points of view. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
