Brooks,

thank you for your opinion on that. The PR followup stating the APSL
license is ok, has been the statement of the original PR submitter, so I
don't trust that in the first place. That's why I was asking here for
that license if there's a common agreement.

So I can assume the APSL license is (still) generally accepted for the BSDs?

If nobody complains about the APSL, I'll ping core for a green flag.

Thanks

Volker
