"Certified" doesn't sound so hot to me. BTW, it would make comparison easier if you'd pack them in an .html page so they could all appear on the screen together. > They are not very high quality, and would need permission from > at least two copyright holders, Who's the second? I'm assuming that you don't include FreeBSD in the list, since this is a FreeBSD effort. AFAIK the only person who needs to give permission is Kirk McKusick. I don't expect you'd have problems there. > but show what I seem to understand from this discussion.

Somehow we need to encourage people to put our sticker on anything that works with FreeBSD, and yet leave that little extra which might make them decide to port their product directly.
