Darren is the one who maintains IPFilter in FreeBSD. I believe his clarification of the license was discussed with -core, and it is not going anywhere. There was some moving of IPF code around in the source tree so that it is more confined to src/contrib. However, unless you are trying to put a newer version of IPF into an older version of FreeBSD, the move should be transparent. That said, IMHO, ipf(8) is not any easier than ipfw(8), just different. In fact, I think the way ipfw(8) rules work, "match and out," is a little easier for the beginner than ipf(8)'s "last match" or "quick" methods. -- Crist J.
