The entire FOSS universe? http://xml.apache.org/cvs.html http://developer.apple.com/opensource/cvs.html http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/ I still find older project using this; not having it available is an impediment. Changing the docs to suggest alternatives is not really part of a man page. It might be a reasonable comment in a developer doc entitled "choosing a SCMS"; such a document doesn't exist as far as I know. > 2) Not really architectural, but you indicate that this is released > under GPLv1.

I suggest that if you're worried about this, _you_ do the background reading and have the discussion w/ legal, rather than raising vague "fetch a rock" questions such as asking the project team to explore if any other components in OpenSolaris that use this license. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts "You will contribute more with mercurial than with thunderbird".
