Suppose you saw some other variant of *nix that had some code you

We took the code and fixed a gaping security vulnerability that
appeared within the opening comment. We DO care who does what with
our code, and we fully intend to cover our balls.
Since when is this *your* code? Oh that's right, when Jiri decided
to steal it by deleting Reyk's copyright and license. Oh wait,
that's already been corrected. What was your point again?
The problem is yours to fix. If you actually care, use a license
that SAYS you care. Right now there's a big /* I don't give a shit
*/ on top of every BSD file. We took you at your word and assumed
you didn't. Now its too late and you suddenly care, don't you?
The BSD license, in effect, says that we care about good code. We
allow anyone to use it. The only stipulation is that the copyright
and license permissions must remain intact.
Are you trying to be hateful, or are you really this ignorant?
