Be sure to tell the CIOs that. That'll do wonders for adoption of FreeBSD.
CIOs don't hang out in public mailing lists asking such questions

You make assumptions that just because someone is paying someone to work on FreeBSD that no one has thought of the copyright implications.
Because I know that it happens regularly. Geeks usually know nothing about copyright and think that they are above copyright law.
The people running the FreeBSD project are smarter than that.
Then they are also smarter than the people running Microsoft, IBM,
Adobe, Apple, Sun, and many other multibillion-dollar companies, all of
which have regular problems with copyright and patent law. The
difference is that these large companies can afford to defend themselves
in court (and even then they sometimes lose).
And I am not your errand-boy. If you are seriously worried about this,
then you need to make the investment necessary to clear your mind on
the issue. Asking other people to do so is arrogant.
I'm trying to keep people from shooting themselves in the feet. Why is there always such hostility towards this?
