Greg Lehey has great things for FreeBSD over the past 7 or 8 years. To be perfectly frank, he has done a hell of a lot more for FreeBSD than you, Brett. Get a grip, Brett, the number of people who care about this whole ideological crusade against GPL that you are on can be counted on one hand. Brett, no one cares. Give it a rest!
