1st, don't sue me if I'm wrong :-) There are some gnu tools distributed 
with the base system - or at lease with the base source - that are under 
GPL. Nothing vital (system will run) as far as I can see, but anoying 
without: grep, cvs, patch, diff, gzip, cc... I think they can be omitted 
if you choose to, maybe see make.conf for options.

I could imagine that cvs be replaced by opencvs, the openbsd team 
started developing that.

Cheers, Erik
