< This script, meant to be run monthly, submits statistics anonymously
< to a central checkin server (http://bsdstats.org), in an attempt to
< generate reasonably accurate demographics of both *BSD usage, as well
< as devices in use.
7,10c3
< Steps have been taken to make eliminate security concerns brought up
< in earlier releases of this, including, but not limited to, not storing
< anything in the database that has been deemed as 'sensitive' (ie. IP of
< the reporting server, and hostname).

> The BSDstats application provides a anonymous reporting method for the
> world wide accumulation of monthly statistics about the deployment of BSD
> variant Operating Systems. Currently the following BSD variants have
> monthly statistics reported. (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD,
> PcBSD, and DesktopBSD).

> The BSDstats application has a monthly reporting period. It relies on
> being run "at least" once a month for the reporting computer to be
> counted. The intention here is to count computers that are currently
> "using" FreeBSD, not computers that ran FreeBSD sometime in the past.
> Multiple reporting in a period by the same computer is counted as a
> single occurrence.
