That should do. According to the EULA: - The Authorized Operating System is explicitly defined in the EULA. FreeBSD is not included. - Copying the software from one computer to another is also forbidden. - Downloading the software from the distribution site means you are confirming your acceptance of the software and agreement to become bound by the terms of the EULA. So, strictly speaking downloading the distfile onto a FreeBSD box does not mean a license violation immediately, but I think it does not make sense. Also, I am not clear why the user can decide if his operating system is the authorized one or not. Could you please explain why it works? -- | Hiroki SATO
