FreeBSD removes last GPL code from base system |
 |
For several years the FreeBSD developers have been gradually removing and replacing parts of the project's code which are licensed under the GPL. This provides a more consistent licensing and avoids some restrictions. This past week the final piece of GPL software was removed from the base FreeBSD system. "This is the last remaining piece of GPL software in the base system. The installer transitioned to bsddialog four years ago, and the last remaining dialog consumer, dpv, was turned off more than two years ago. Retire dpv, libdpv, libfigpar (used only by dpv), and dialog itself." The retired components can be migrated to third-paty ports, making them available to users without being in the core operating system.
