Hi list ! Reading through OpenBSD's codebase, I have noticed that the code living under src/usr.sbin/pkg_add is written in Perl. Perl is distributed under the Artistic license, though. The latter is not as permissive as the BSD license under which monst of OpenBSD is released. No doubt that is the reason why Perl lives in src/gnu. Why have such a tool using a non-BSD package when there was choice not to do so ? What technical reasons have lead the developers to elect this language ? I am just curious about the fact and didn't manage to find information in tech@ and mis@ archives. Thanks in advance. Hyjial.
