Hi,

You've seen probably the announcement that the license for Minix has been
changed to BSD. I've had for a long time a couple of utilities ported from
Minix to FreeBSD, among others:

* mostly complete Bourne shell. Here's the size for a static binary:
# size sh
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  47551    1632    3376   52559    cd4f sh

* mined - Minix editor. Nice and small full-screen editor. The keybindings
are plain crazy, but easily changeable. Supports regex, search and replace
and other features.
# size mined
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  35779    1224    7808   44811    af0b mined

* others: ftpd, telnetd

Generally speaking, porting this stuff is quite easy, but I didn't have
enough motivation to do it with other utilities.

Now, my question is: should they go to ports, or under tinyware? Mined and
msh had been there already once upon a time, but then removed due to
incompatible old license.

Any thoughts?
