It's no longer dual licenced in the FreeBSD tree because the FreeBSD people removed the GPL choice of the dual licenced code 3 months ago. So all of Theo's accusations of people breaking the law by making this dual licenced code GPL-only apply as well to the FreeBSD people... > That said, I don't see what exact wording you consider inaccurate. Both the FreeBSD and Linux people draw the logical conclusion that this "Alternatively" means everyone can always choose to remove one of the two choices alternatively offered. According to Theo, that is "breaking the law"... > C. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
