Please stop the FUD. ACPICA is actually triple-licensed, i.e., generic Intel software license, (three-clause) BSD-like license, and GPLv2. For example, please see the same file on Linux: http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/drivers/acpi/acpica/hwsleep.c?v=linux-2.6 When a new ACPICA release is merged to Linux tree, it is pre-processed with acpisrc (which is also included in ACPICA release tarball) and all C source files are converted to Linux style. Actually this tool replaces the generic Intel license with the actual BSD/GPLv2 dual license header at the same time: http://git.moblin.org/cgit.cgi/acpica/tree/source/tools/acpisrc The following file contains source conversion table for Linux: http://git.moblin.org/cgit.cgi/acpica/tree/source/tools/acpisrc/astable.c#n158 Historically FreeBSD never touched the license header. However, I am going to do it next time to avoid confusions.
