I wonder how often this tenent of the BSD license is maintained. This is not about a notice in the source or binaries. . This is about advertising. Anyone who advertises software subject to this license must display this attribution. Now Berkeley TCP/IP is ubiqitous right? Why haven't I seen this plastered all over the net? I don't think MS complies. I don't think Sun complies. I know Whistle does. Does the OSKIT webpage? I'll have to check. Hmmm.... nope. Just the GPL as far as I can tell. Yes, they thank FreeBSD folk. No, They do not state that their software uses software from Berkelely as stated in the license. Catchya Later, | Give me UNIX or give me a typewriter.
