How do you install something "under" a license? FreeBSD is developed and distributed using the BSD license. More information is available at www.freebsd.org If you're wondering whether or not FreeBSD is freely available and can be installed in a commerical environment then the short answer would be yes. However, I encourage you to read the licensing clauses available on www.freebsd.org, specifically here: http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html This wiki gives a decent overview of the differences: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software_licence Henrik -- Henrik Hudson [email protected] ----------------------------------------- "God, root, what is difference?"
