In article <199902080636.WAA42408.kithrup.freebsd.chat@rah.star-gate.com> you write: >What I wonder if it is okay to distribute a kernel module with >a given licensing scheme then all of the sudden perhaps inspire >by fad to switch the licensing scheme specially when it is well >known that kernel modules sometimes are decided to be included >in a distribution due to their licensing scheme. Last time I checked, the kernel code was not going under the GPL, and, in fact, the Coda team had expressed willingess to assign copyright of those modules to the NetBSD/FreeBSD/whatever project.
