eliminating GPL apps on FreeBSD

[Marc G. Fournier]

For example ... ?  Is there a list of apps being maintained, and, maybe, 
reasons why they haven't been adopted?

I recall this conversation happening before, over ... grep? ... and there 
were alot of things missing from it that the GNU version had, which was 
why it wasn't considered suitable yet to be adopted ...
