I missed this one before. GPL-ing FreeBSD in your head doesn't meet the patent licensing rules of the Intel license, which requires actual *distribution* of the OS under the GPL. -- Not to perambulate || John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> the corridors || http://www.reutershealth.com during the hours of repose || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan in the boots of ascension. \\ Sign in Austrian ski-resort hotel -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
