Most people would be smart enough to go look at the source, read any relevant copyright notices, the preserved NetBSD RCS IDs, the commit messages that mention NetBSD, etc. Or is this just too difficult for you? Imagine, if NetBSD actually made their CVS tree publically available like everyone else, we could reference specific NetBSD commits and others could go find commit histories based on the NetBSD RCS IDs. But, hey, you don't make such information available. -- Jason Downs downsj@teeny.org Little. Yellow. Secure. http://www.openbsd.org/
