Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: other Other License: patches for the GNU C library should be licensed under the LGPL and have their copyright assignable to the FSF so they can be integrated in Glibc when they're ready. patches for *BSD's sources (this typically means the kernel or its headers) should be licensed under the modified BSD license , so that they are acceptable for the *BSD developers and may also be integrated. Package: Glibc support for *BSD's kernels System name: glibc-bsd Type: non-GNU Description: The purpose of this project is to maintain a set of patches for the GNU C library to add support for *BSD kernels. The idea is to use it as a repository for ongoing, experimental work untill we have the necessary technical and legal (copyright assignments) requirements so that *BSD support can be fully integrated in Glibc's sources. At that point, the project might still be useful for bleeding-edge changes, support for newer versions of *BSD kernels, maintaining a set of patched kernel headers for every released *BSD kernel version or general discussion of development issues with Glibc on *BSD kernels.
