... and I've been looking at patch(1). FreeBSD's is currently under GNU
license, because one of the files (backupfile.c) is. NetBSD have a
slightly earlier version of this, covered by the BSD license. I've yet to
sit down and compare functionality in depth, but initial testing has shown
there's little difference in functionality.
