>From what I've seen thus far, it seems that it's not part of the standard kernel. It's just something that *can be* part of the kernel. If you don't want to use it, don't. I don't have a problem with it being offered in the ports tree, as long as it's not part of the default install. I do share your wariness of licenses like the CDDL. One of the reasons I looked into FreeBSD in the first place was a decision to look for ways to escape the GPL's ubiquity in Linux-land. I just don't think it's being included with FreeBSD in an inappropriate manner. I'd like to know about it if you have some evidence to the contrary. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] "A script is what you give the actors.
