PLEASE PROVIDE SOURCE!
i dont want to sound rude or anything, I respect your work very much, but you are REQUIRED to provide source upon request, if your app is bsd-licensed.
thank you

That is the more restrictive GPL license you are thinking of.

if he releases code under the bsdl he has to make the source available. the big difference to the gpl is that anyone is permitted to relicense bsd code as proprietry software (providing he has in some way altered it), but if it is released under the bsdl that it is opensource!
anyway, the cvs is not password protected anymore, source is available and i had email contact with the coder so everything is settled.

The only obligation you have is to give the orginal parties credit.
Nothing more.
That is the beauty of BSD license, you get true freedom to do what you want.
You can be nice and give it away, or you can keep it all for yourself.

2. Source Code
The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost-preferably, downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.

this will be at the top of my list to install when i move to 5.3[stable].
i read the description, but did not see any mention of support for the revision control system.
i religiously co & ci all config files.
is this something you plan on supporting?

Or even better, since you're KDE based instead of pure Qt, how about making it a KControl module? See "http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/kcontrol_style/index.html" for a HOWTO.

and yes it looks great, but i'd rather see copylefted than copyrighted...
and using the gpl would ensure that no-one could make money with your app without sharing it for free (whereas they could if you bsd the app).
anyways keep up the good work

It would be nice if you could incorporate a front end to the ports system.
Or maybe a possibility to see the loaded modules and to load and unload modules from there...

Ideas for all things to configure on FreeBSD are welcome, for best you provide a GUI idea too

Besides: can the application be downloaded from somewhere? Is there a CVS or Subversion server?

at the moment there are too much bugs to send it to you, you have to wait only a little.
P.S.: Critic and ideas of any kind are always welcome

Making it a BSD-license would open it up 100% for improvements, and you still get credit for originating the app..
Making it a GPL-license also opens it up for improvements, but they have to give them back to the community as well..
Personally i prefer BSD style, as its more friendly to developers that have corporate issues to deal with.
