Part 3 of the BSD license (``All advertising materials...'') did indeed conflict with the GPL (which doesn't say anything about such things). While this requirement might have made sense back in the time when ``The Regents and the Contributors'' were the only mentioned origin of the source, it looked a little stale (und useless and unenforcable) these days. That's why the FreeBSD Project officially decided to no longer recommend it. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
