No. We are talking about removing a GPL infected library from the base
tree that is used by a couple of utterly performance irrelevant utilities
and making these couple of utilities (secure-rpc key generation tools)
use the OpenSSL bignum API - where OpenSSL has a BSD-style license.

But telnet in historic BSD didn't have sra or any other authentication

`historical BSD software'?
No, I'm saying that the author of the SRA patches did
No, I'm saying that the author of the SRA patches did the right thing
and used the traditional BSD math library when extending the
traditional BSD telnet utility. I am furthermore making the point
that FreeBSD should continue to ship with a library that provides
the `libmp' interface,

it's proper to remove it from the base system and make it a port?

Yes, it should have, since telnet is historic BSD software and libmp
is the historic BSD arbitrary-precision-math
I was looking at PR/9233 from Dec 1998 the other day, and I saw that
the version of libgmp thats included in the base-system seems to be
very outdated (version 2.x in our tree, while version 3.x is available
at the homepage of libgmp).
