	BSD copyright is less restrictive than GLP - BSD basically states
	'you can do what you like with this, but mention who wrote it',
	while GLP is 'you can do what you like with this, providing you
	make source available, etc', which restricts commercial use.

	For inclusion in the NetBSD kernel it would have to be released
	under BSD style copyright, which should not cause a problem for
	it being used under linux. Linux uses ncurses which is under
	a BSD style copyright.

	It all depends on your personal view as to which copyright you
	want to release code under :)
