The following e-mail was received on freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org. The individual
raising this PR neither has commit bits, nor was able to identify a specific file
that had been backed out of NetBSD recently that remained in FreeBSD. This may be
an error of the PR-raiser's part, however further details about the specific files
can be probably obtained by contacting Theo directly. This PR is CC'ed to him.

Subject: Sam Leffler: Re: hey
The /dev/crypto testing program in FreeBSD, like in NetBSD, was
derived from a test program which I never published with a free
license. It has now been deleted from the NetBSD tree as well.
Please delete it from the FreeBSD tree as well.
Because apparently Sam is too busy to keep your tree clear of
license violations.

I'm busy for the next few months doing non-FreeBSD work. I'll deal with your
complaint when I have the time. If this is unsatisfactory feel free to
contact someone else.

Theo de Raadt has claimed that code within the FreeBSD tree is not public release,
is his IPR-protected property and has requested it be removed forthwith.
