Pardon me, sir... but practically all of the FreeBSD source also
falls under UCB-style copyright. There are certain bits (some device
drivers, GNU tools, stuff borrowed from Linux, etc.) that fall under
GPL, but for the most part, we are talking a Berkeley copyright. You
must be thinking of Linux when you say GPL. We won't have any of
*that* here. ;-)
