We _do_ distribute this. bento may have already finished building a package for this by now, this will also now show up in the (for-sale) FreeBSD 4.3 cds. We also will be mirroring the tainted distfile now. My point is that the porter(of the vrrp code, not of the FreeBSD port) screwed up by not copying the license over (or including it or even mentioning[1] it). He's making available a distribution of the code w/o respecting the original license. He is the only one that can fix this unfortunately. The project is now just as guilty. -- Bill Fumerola - security yahoo / Yahoo! inc. - fumerola@yahoo-inc.com / billf@FreeBSD.org 1.
