This conversation has nothing to do with DragonFly Bosko and you damn
well know it. The thread is about a method in which the perforce
development trees can be opened up for the public.

Anyway this has nothing to do with the current thread of discussion
Bosko. The networking code in DragonFly has been developed with the
intention of some commercial reasoning in mind for some of the
developers who have worked on it. This is only to further improve the
ongoing development work in DragonFly. The advertising clause sun-sets
in a year anyway and anyone can still download the DragonFly source
and do what ever with it , so your point is moot.

Again this was not the point of the conversation. Why not toss in some
more point less items like GPL, LGPL, etc...
