Some one on the core team is working on this, and from other
mail on the hackers list here are the proper pointers:

The patches that need to be applied to ip_input.c are license-free.
The new files (ip_screen.*, gw_screen.*, screend/*) are all restricted
by a DEC license such that no third party redistribution is permitted.
(This is an improvement over the previous license, let me assure you --
and it's also the best I was able to get.)
I advise FreeBSD to do as BSD/OS does -- put the patches in, control
them with "#ifdef GWSCREEN" and "options GWSCREEN", and include in your
release notes something about <URL:ftp://ftp.vix.com/pub/vixie/screend.tar.gz>,
which is the public screend's official home.
