Hello Paul, Rather than make confusing annotations, I'll simply re-write some of the text and let you deduce the changes (and decide whether or not you want them). Fair enough? --- ^{FreeBSD} is a derivative of ^{4.4 BSD Lite} for the ^{Intel} (^{i386/i486/Pentium}) architecture built from the ^{4.4 BSD Lite} release from the ^{Computer Systems Research Group} (^{CSRG}) at the ^{University of California, Berkeley}. It is supported by an international team of volunteers. Documentation is available in the 4.4BSD Document Set (Reference \citeref{bsd 44}). \query{We need a full biblio citation with exact title and publication date for that (O'Reilly, ISBN 1-56592-082-1), and also a description suitable for our Resources chapter.} Information and complete distributions are available over the Internet from "ftp.FreeBSD.org", with information also available from "info@FreeBSD.org" (general questions to "questions@FreeBSD.org"). It is also available on CD-ROM sold by, among others, Walnut Creek CD-ROM (send mail to "info@cdrom.com"). Most of FreeBSD, unlike \linux, is governed by a Berkeley-style license that permits redistribution for both private and commercial purposes as long as the code includes a notice acknowledging the copyright of the Regents of the University of California and the FreeBSD Project. A few parts of FreeBSD include GNU software and are therefore covered by the GPL, however. These are kept in a different part of the source tree. Thanks! Jordan
