This is where I may need some education, and any information that you
or others could provide would be welcome. I'm not all that familiar
with the *BSD's, so I may be completely wrong about this. If I am,
tell me. The Linux kernel is under the GPL. The firewall code is part
of the kernel, and is therefore under the GPL. The GPL doesn't allow
for the sort of revisionist history that has happened with ipf. Ipf
was part of the OpenBSD kernel, but because of the authors whim, the
license has changed, and all previous versions, due to the ambiguous
nature, are now in question. The BSD license would have to allow this
to happen somehow, otherwise we wouldn't be discussing it.
C-Ya,
