Wasn't the 4 CD set the install CD, the CVS tree, GNATS, ports, precompiled packages and distfiles?

Sure, and I suppose you think that WC is responsible for the holes in BIND and Sendmail that shipped with 1.1.5.1. "Damnit! They're hurting FreeBSD!" I think you're just gonna have to be a reasonable human like the rest of us if you want to profit from someone elses hard work. I know my interests in FreeBSD lead me to support the current situation with respect to the "FreeBSD" trademark/brand. I'd bet that a majority of the committers/core feel the same way and don't want it to be any easier for you to subvert the FreeBSD brand for your unknown purposes. -- | Matthew N.
