- No.

- I am concerned about the development of such anti-commercial licenses in
- this product, because I want to some day be able to buy or recommend to
- my non-computer-literate relatives a UNIX like novice-friendly O/S. If
- 386BSD gets encumbered with lots of little licensing restrictions this
- will never happen.

- If you want to form your own Free Software Foundation, go ahead. But don't
- try to turn this into one.
