If your customer is not satisfied by simply pointing to the terms that
cover the whole of OpenBSD, and if they insist on some kind of audit of the

Well then, offer it - but charge more.
Point out that what they're asking for would be unreasonably complex and

We could write the document you need. Then the next comment would

It is a neverending battle.
FWIW, the permission I seek is from my Legal department. They want to
ensure that 1) we don't use software having unacceptable licenses or in
unacceptable ways, and 2) that the terms of all the copyrights are

This is imprecise. The *proliferation* of software licenses is

in *theory* possibl
