Thanks Benjamin, Both NetBSD [1] and FreeBSD [2] versions of ieee80211.9 manual pages have been licensed with a 2-cluase BSD license by their respective authors.
If I update the FreeBSD ieee80211(9) man page with the information from ieee80211(9) man page from NetBSD, what should the license look like? Would something similar to one given below be OK? .\" Copyright (c) 2004 Bruce M. Simpson <[email protected]> .\" Copyright (c) 2004 Darron Broad <[email protected]> .\" Copyright (c) 2009 Sam Leffler, Errno Consulting .\" All rights reserved. ... rest of the license comes here Also, in the HISTORY part, is it worth mentioning that the (FreeBSD) manual page was updated with the information from NetBSD IEEE80211 man page?
