Theo de Raadt: "FreeBSD isn't Free"

Theo de Raadt, az OpenBSD projekt vezetője az alábbira hívta fel a figyelmet ma:

Just for fun.

"While we were working out the bugs in our in-kernel AML interpreter, we noticed that ACPI-CA software from Intel had a suitable license to merge into FreeBSD."

Ok nem vettek ilyen veresen komolyan a dolgokat ;-)

(Mashol: "Intel publishes ACPICA under a dual source license so that FreeBSD etc. can use it w/o GPL tainting.")

A NetBSD-ben ugyanez a driver van, de ok tisztan 3rd party megjelolessel szallitjak.
