What are you complaining about?!! If you don't like it, don't use it.
The license must have been acceptable at the time when he submitted his
code.!! I am sure that core people took a good look at it too.!! It is
like you are complaining that somebody has given you nice car for free,
and you are complaining about a little scratch on a door.!! His
contribution is very valuable to us NetBSD community.!! What have you
contributed?!! He cares more about NetBSD than you do.!! I wish there
were more people like him and less people like you.

You sounds like a manager or group leader from hell.!! He will take his
own time to make those changes if he pleases.!! As you may have noticed
that without his license changes, NetBSD still runs fine.!! I don't
think this change in license is number 1 priority on his mind.!! What
are you doing with NetBSD that this license affect you so much?!! Are
you planning to sell his code and make lots of money, and these legal
stuff is in your greedy way?!! Don't let this license issue slow him
down.!! If you don't like his license so much, why don't you spend your
time and money, find lawyer, and draft a license that you, Chris and
rest of the NetBSD community can agree on.!! Now there is one that you
can contribute.
