Kris,

is there copyright problem with termcap? After the installation of FreeBSD
on my Ultra-10 I'd just copied definition from Solaris and normal console
(not serial) works just fine. If Sun didn't copyright/patent their termcap
could it just be incorporated into FreeBSD? By the way, file id appeared
to be the same on Solaris and FreeBSD, but content is different.

Kind regards,
Ilya Varlashkin
