Sorry to butt in. I usually prefer to stay out of such mail/flame
wars. But I must point out that Darren has changed *back* his license
for IPF for modification to source/binary yesterday. Is it because he
felt threatened by pf, or did he realize his mistake?

Please do not make acquisitions like these before knowing the real
issue. The reason it was taken of src in OpenBSD was because *at that
point* it did not meet OpenBSD's goals of free software. It had
nothing to do with Theo's stubbornness or Darren's stupidity
