For all I know the calendar(1) utility comes from Berkeley, it was included in the CSRG BSD distribution and was written from someone in the US. From my personal point of view, I believe my most important contribution to FreeBSD as a whole was r321834, which added the Catholic holidays, followed in many countries, to calendar(1). For non-catholics it is surely unimportant and a culture/religion uniqueness thing but I've always thought FreeBSD had such interest in culture diversity. Yes, for you calendar is something accidental that shouldn't be there, for me it's a differentiating factor. > It's also just not a great way to treat fellow project contributors, > even if you disagree with my opinion.

Please excuse me if you felt I meant anything personal against you or your way of thinking. I was trying to show you how someone else, like me, really sees somethings different. It is more that just code. Now, if we can just go on with the regular programming, and leave calendar(1) as it is. Pedro.
