Its sad to see that yet another part of the FreeBSD source tree is to be
surgically extracted on account of `trademark violations' :(.
Q1: How far is FreeBSD willing to go in the direction of ripping out
portions of its source base? Is it willing to remove files in
non-games directories?
Q2: What about programs, files and directories in the source tree that
"violate trademarks" in other countries like India, Japan, and Russia?
Will the FreeBSD project be willing be rip out parts of its source
base to satisfy litigants from other countries?
Q3: Are the sources for the "extracted" parts available as a package
from anywhere else in the world?
I think some of these questions have been asked before, but I don't
recall seeing answers.
Thanks,
Koshy
