We argue about this a lot. Nobody has, as yet, ever done the work to make "bindist" a meta-package which depends (perhaps selectively) on sub-packages like groff, sendmail, gcc, et al. to achieve the required state of "bundling by default but not by requirement" in FreeBSD. This is despite the

qmail is distributed as "freeware" according to freshmeat.net. They do not define the term, but by my definition, freeware would be freer than the BSD license. * Jon Parise ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [000409 15:04]: I don't recall the particulars (it's been a while since I've managed a qmail
