Hi Q,

My curiosity is that the FreeBSD and NetBSD license are left. And should those licenses are kept after porting?
Yes the original license and copyright notices are all kept intact, it's one of the requirements of virtually every opensource license. To remove them would be a violation of the original copyright holders requirements.
This is important. For the people to port from now this must be a point, not to port beyond the law.
The words "Redistributions" in the FreeBSD License includes "porting"?
But I heard, the algorithm of the source code wasn't preserved
by the copyright. In the case of the porting from FreeBSD to other
different flavor OS (e.g. Linux), the algorithm is used. But the variables or
way of writing is not used. In this case what should I do? Ethically I should
notice FreeBSD license. But.... It's a bit contradiction, I think.
