McKusick owns HIS daemon. He doesn't > own THE daemon. Yep, but since it's copyrighted, he rules what happens to anything that closely resembles HIS daemon. After all, that's what copyrights are for (the true ones, not this abuse for software). Anyway, his copyright rules are really few and acceptable, so anybody would do some good in keeping in line with them. (He's only been copyrighting it to protect it from [commercial] abuse, basically.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
