I must admit it looks like exactly this. If you take a look at the first
versions of qjail, you can see, that the 'Author' Joe Barbish just stole the
main code from ezjail and even forgot to remove all occurances of the pattern
'ezjail' in the code he redistributed under his own name
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/qjail/files/qjail-1.0.tar.bz2/download) - of
course you can find tons of other portions of the original ezjail code
(https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jail/2013-March/002120.html), but
that is just funny:

[xxx qjail-1.0.tar]# grep -R 'ezjail' *
qjail.conf.sample:# This is the default location where ezjail archives its
jails to

Stealing code and than making such an effort to ruin the original authors work?
Shame on you, script kiddie!

As the most relevant people already stated here: There is no reason to remove
that bits, that will in return doing harm to ezjail users, without removing any
risks or problems from the base. period.

So the responsible FreeBSD people should close this 'bug' as there is no
evident reason for this, except the personal intention of Joe Barbish. People
like him shouldn't get to much attention and at least no support from a
community of real coders.

I'm doing this job since the late eighties and might be a little blue, but
claiming others code/work as your own is nothing an opensource community should
accept or tolerate. Keeping this as an open 'bug' implies that. Not a good
sign.
