I'll go back to lurking. I agree, it is his perogative. I am glad he wrote it. It is excellent software. However, he is making a choice and other people don't have to like it, based on sound OpenSource criteria (which he never claimed IPFilter was). He can not expect anybody else to feel that it is OK to have non-open software incorporated into the base system of an open OS. I say open the source up completely under the BSD or equivalent license (as released in the FreeBSD OS) or remove it from the base OS.
