I think you will find that Knaack has argued that Chris _is_ trying to
work against NetBSD, and in so many words.

Yes, perhaps we do.  I think a more appropriate place is a list for
distributors of NetBSD, since this license change does not affect
users who aren't also distributors at all, as far as I can see.

And one more time: what would you do if someone mentions in their
promomtional material ``features'' which are clearly derived from
*your* modified-BSD-license code, but which does *not* acknowledge you
by name?  What if your attorney says that the existing license is
ambiguous and may be exceedingly hard to enforce in the (hypothetical)
case at hand?

Any discussion of license issues __has__ to take this scenario into
account, or it's simply not addressing the points at hand.
