That is most definitely not true. Look in the cvs repository for one such file, say http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/compat/linux/linux_emul.c?rev=1.21;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup which is distributed under the BSD license. The GPL does not allow that, so everything is rewritten. The same is true for NetBSD, which has a strict "no GPL in the kernel" policy, and I presume FreeBSD has so too. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- You author it, and I'll reader it. \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- Cetero censeo "authored" delendum esse. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
