Debian ships with it. That's why I "use" it. (I don't send e-mail to the outside or listen for any outside e-mail, so the choice of MTA is irrelevant to me as long as the system can still send over localhost to /var

Funny you'd wrote a wrapper like that, too. I ended up making something in C that uses readpassphrase(3) [with -lbsd on Linux, but I haven't built it on a Linux machine in years] and zeroes the memory with explicit_bzero(3) as it

SunOS 4 was still BSD-based. You can find the source code for SunOS 4.1.4 on TUHS's code comparison site[1], but for some reason, you can't browse the tree. Solaris was when Sun made the jump to System V. AFAIK part of that was

That's not what grandparent claimed, though. "Intellectual property" is an umbrella term for copyright, trademarks, patents, design protection laws, etc. throwaway_law's retort seems justified to me.

Font copyright is a weird thing[1]. In the U.S. at least, the letterforms themselves cannot be subject to copyright, but font files themselves as "software" may be. This may differ between jurisdictions (or even be entirely unclea
