Hi all,
While looking at nis-utils-1.4.1 from linux, I found that that whole package is based on Bill's work. Intersting that everything there is GNU labled. What happened to the BSD copyright ? Or has it been GPL'd from the beginning ? http://freshmeat.net/projects/nis-utils The author even forgot to remove one part of a manpage: nis-utils-1.4.1$ more man/nis_db.3 .Em The TI-RPCSRC 2.3 source code distribution. .Sh HISTORY This implementation of the .Nm nis_db library was written for and is scheduled to appear in a future release of FreeBSD 2.x as part of a complete, freely available NIS+ client and server package. This library was written entirely from scratch: no Sun code other than the publically available NIS+ header files was referenced. Strange thing. Bill, did you ever allowed them to make it GPL only ? Looking at the code it should be possible to import some things and make a NIS+ client available. But only if it's not GPL'd.
