This is actually not true. Since Linux is GPL and BSD is, well, BSD licensed the only way cross-pollination into BSD happens is for the developer to dual-license the code. AFAIK the BSD developers do not allow GPL'ed code into their kernel since if they did their kernel would be GPL'ed and they don't want that. The BSD folks are moving on some of the same issues, though, and undoubtedly if Linux is found to be infringing and its SMP code gets ripped out FreeBSD's popularity (since they just re-architected their SMP code) will surge. All that's pretty far fetched, though. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
