Does the notice have to be place in the AUTHORS section?  And how big is
it?


Whoever follows up with the IEEE (Hiten seemed to be on the ball) will
presumably find out the precise requirements; all I can say is that they
didn't look too burdensome judging by what the Linux folks have released.


    Guys, hold your horses for now. :-)  I am gonna get in contact
    with Jacques Vidrine (nectar@) of Camp FreeBSD and coordinate
    this stuff with him.

Does this: http://www.opengroup.org/press/01jun04.htm
