NetBSD's code is NO MORE ENCUMBERED than FreeBSD's. The fact that we bitched about a copyright notice botch DOES NOT MEAN that NetBSD's code is somehow "more encumbered". I suspect if I removed your copyright notice from the async i/o stuff you wrote, put my own at the top, and then committed it to the NetBSD source tree, you'd be a bit annoyed, too. NOW... Doug - I'm sorry that I came off rather harshly. I could have, and should have, reacted differently. The notice botch was one of many (unrelated) straws that broke the camel's back. That's not really an excuse for my behavior, but please accept my apology. Jason R.
