The FreeBSD Update build code is... umm... somewhere in between. I think the best way to explain it is to say that I don't care about copyright on the build code, but the code is a stinking pile of hacks upon hacks with multiple known bugs -- so I don't particularly want to expose it to public scrutiny and I doubt that it will be very useful either. Rewriting the build code is approaching the top of my todo list, but isn't there quite yet; in the meantime, if you can send me more details about what you want to do I'll see if I can accommodate you.
