Oh, sure. But bandwidth and disk space are relatively cheap commodities compared to what they used to be. If the Linux source tree contained an entire copy of the BSD kernel source, I doubt anyone would really bat an eyelid. It's certainly an inconvenience, but I don't think it really prevents anything of any great interest. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
