The README is misleading and the solution used by NetBSD is much clearer. I think the README should possibly be removed and the attached patch used to add the comment to the top of getopt.c instead. -- Bruce --------------060203030102080107070302 Content-Type: text/plain; name="getopt.c.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="getopt.c.diff" --- /usr/src/usr.bin/getopt/getopt.c 2002-09-05 00:29:01.000000000 +0100 +++ getopt.c 2008-05-05 08:34:14.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,6 +1,11 @@ #include __FBSDID("$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/getopt/getopt.c,v 1.10 2002/09/04 23:29:01 dwmalone Exp $"); +/* + * This material, written by Henry Spencer, was released by him + * into the public domain and is thus not subject to any copyright. + */ + #include #include #include --------------060203030102080107070302--
