After all, the PSF license looks more like a BSD >license than the GPL. I seriously hope you were being sarcastic here. If not, then the short answer is: "no way in hell". However, replacing Perl with C will be accepted, (and is being done too). So if you produce suitable working code, it will find its way into the tree. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
