Greg, you aren't doing any of the work. We are. We chose a long time
ago to put the gpl'ed code in /usr/src/gnu. Thus far, this has caused
no pain to anyone. The only pain this decision has ever caused, in
fact, is dealing with this pointless flame war.

We aren't going to move from the current policy because there is no
point in doing so. The current model works fine. I suspect sendmail
8.9.1 will probably go into /usr/src/gnu at some point, and if this
horror being imposed on you keeps you awake at night, might I suggest
a sleep therapist?
