I think the main concept behind the FreeBSD liscense is that they don't want to force people to distribute source code for a product they've made using FreeBSD in part or in whole. This enables you to modify the code however you want and then sell it for profit. By the regular public liscence it is illegal to do this. So in that sense, the FreeBSD liscense is even less restrictive. Kenneth J.
