I heard somewhere that Linux was released under a slightly modified GPL to permit the inclusion of BSD code. I assumed they did this to steal the IP stack. Would it be legal to strip the BSD license of say, inetd and put a GPL on it? Many in the Linux community seem to think this is true but I thought that'd be just as bad as my BSD licensed GCC distribution :) Jamie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
