OK, I've looked through /usr/src/sys and I've tried to get my head around this, but I'm still confused : What, exactly, are the licensing restrictions WRT the 'normal' (i.e. non-ports, non-packages) distribution of FreeBSD? If I'm reading the 'README' and 'COPYRIGHT' files correctly in /usr/src, then the BSD license (without the advertising clause) applies to all of the directories EXCEPT the /usr/src/gnu directory, which contains other packages, mostly GPL or LGPL licensed. Is this correct? Am I missing something glaringly obvious? The webpage that refernces this info on freebsd.org only lists the applicable licenses, but not what license is applicable to which files.....
