Demon license?

[Brian Tao]

    Though I don't mind the banter, you guys may want to trim Ray
Jenson from future messages on this thread.  I don't think a potential
commercial promoter of FreeBSD needs to wade through this sort of
debate.  All he wanted was permission to use the likeness of the
Daemone for promotional purposes.  ;-)
