I think that Jerry, in using GLOBAL as an example to push his desire for a smaller FreeBSD, rather clouded the issue. I would wish that, if Shigio doesn't actually assign the copyright to the FSF, then he can release it under both copyrights, and please everyone. If Jerry wants to have FreeBSD be smaller, I think that this method wasn't a good way to start his campaign. Shigio was probably taken aback by Jerry's proposal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C programming, Electronics, 213 Lakeside Dr. Apt.
