I have no idea either, perhaps because John Fieber had originally copyrighted the handbook this way (not at my urging) Wolfram saw this as a statement of general intent or something. AFAIK, the handbook and web pages have been changed to "(C) The FreeBSD Project" which doesn't actually mean anything per-se and is probably why FreeBSD, Inc. was chosen before - it seemed just a little more tangible. But it's no skin off my nose either way, that's for sure. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
