Might as well update the handbook while I'm at it - some sections have
been added.

|

<p>The goals of the FreeBSD Project are to provide software that may
|
||||
be used for any purpose and without strings attached. Many of us
|
||||
have a significant investment in the code (and project) and would
|
||||
certainly not mind a little financial renumeration now and then,
|
||||
but we're definitely not prepared to insist on it. We believe
|
||||
that our first and foremost "mission" is to provide code to any
|
||||
and all comers, and for whatever purpose, so that the code gets
|
||||
the widest possible use and provides the widest possible benefit.
|
||||
This is, I believe, one of the most fundamental goals of Free
|
||||
Software and one that we enthusiastically support.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That code in our source tree which falls under the GNU Public License
|
||||
(GPL) or GNU Library Public License (GLPL) comes with slightly more
|
||||
strings attached, though at least on the side of enforced
|
||||
access rather than the usual opposite. Due to the additional
|
||||
complexities that can evolve in the commercial use of GPL software,
|
||||
we do, however, endeavor to replace such software with submissions
|
||||
under the more relaxed BSD copyright whenever possible.
