Hi list !
Reading through OpenBSD's codebase, I have noticed that the code
living
under src/usr.sbin/pkg_add is written in Perl. Perl is distributed
under the Artistic license, though. The latter is not as permissive
as the BSD
license under which monst of OpenBSD is released. No doubt
that is the reason
why Perl lives in src/gnu.
Why have such a tool using a non-BSD package when
there was choice
not to do so ?
What technical reasons have lead the
developers to elect this
language ?
I am just curious about the fact and
didn't manage to find information
in tech@ and mis@ archives.
Thanks in
advance.
Hyjial.
