Comment (by Chris Johns): Replying to [comment:4 Sebastian Huber]: > If you want to improve the license handling in libbsd, then you should address this issue in FreeBSD first and then back port it to libbsd. We need to have something to explain this as libbsd is not directly under FreeBSD. What about? {{{ RTEMS LibBSD Licenses ===================== The FreeBSD front page (https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src) states: "For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information." We have a copy of that file in LibBSD as `freebsd/COPYRIGHT`. The remaining code this repository is under a BSD 2-clause license unless specifically indicated in the source file: Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: 1.
