He said private, non-coomercial was free. He said companies that package it and sell it embedded should pay, and that included ISPs, but there the example was ISPs who put a machine at a customer's site. As far as ISPs using it themselves, it's unclear. Kirk gave an example of someone at work using on their workstation, and he said that was free. I'd guess Eivind's right, you'd have to check it with Kirk McKusick. > > Eivind. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
