There was recently a big announcement on Slashdot about IPFilter not being
free software, with the eventual culmination of festivities being the
OpenBSD crew removing it from their CVS tree.  Looks like they jumped the
gun.

Just looked through the source code on a 4 month old install of
4.2-stable and checked out all the ipfilter related copyrights, both
kernel and userland code...

They are all BSDL or simpler (if that's a legal term:).

Darren Reed mentioned he had his own arrangements with the NetBSD and
FreeBSD core.

Thanks go out to Darren (and his contributors),
