Richard Miller being in this very thread, you could presumably get him
to say "I declare that the old bcm kernel found in the p9f code is OK
to be redistributed under the MIT license" and be done with it. Or
declare the opposite, and the p9f can remove the kernel from the
source.
As for what to do

It's been quite responsive over http; I think the main issue is that
people automatically write "https" in links these days and I'm not
sure p9f.org ever had HTTPS set up. I remember trying it weeks back
when Ron first announced it, wasn't able to connect with HTTPS back
then either.

Look.
I'm sorry nobody commented when you posted your software.
I'm sorry you and Eric et al. were working on sorta similar things at
the same time.
But can you cut it out with the fucking nuclear meltdowns all over

I've been trying to install Plan 9 on a previously-untried system.
When I put in the install disc and try to boot, I only see "PBSR...EI"

I'd like to be able to use a disk in both Plan 9 and Linux. FAT seems
to have some issues with sufficiently large partitions, so that's out.
Plan9Port doesn't have fossil in the repo, although I've found
patches. ext2srv may be an option, but I have no idea how reliable it
would actually be.

What I think people are trying to say is that this doesn't really make
a lot of sense. The AMD64 system doesn't have any installer work done
for it at all--I think it's not far off, but to the best of my
knowledge nobody has built a CDROM that boots the 64-bit kernel and
