So, I can go form my own project called VeldyBSD and I can modify the IPFilter code all that I want based on, let us say, FreeBSD 4.3? That is the basic premise of the BSD license (and by inference the *BSD OS) principal, if not in practice. This even applies to the GPL. Does it apply to the license granted with IPFilter?
