hi Richard,
At the point in time when you started the GNU project, do you mind telling us how much of the GNU code was based on BSD and how much was not ?
I am asking for a reasonably accurate percentage e.g. 20% BSD, 80% non-BSD, OR 85% BSD, 15% non-BSD. Something to that effect. Comments/Code/Headers whatever originated from the BSD team gets attributed to them, and the modifications you guys wrote are credited to the GNU project.
Also, someone posted that the original GNU code was based on the BSD code and therefore the BSD licence, and one fine day the BSD licence was replaced with the GNU licence. Is that correct or incorrect ?
thanks, Ranjeet Shetye.
