The GPL is a reason not to distribute bash with any BSD that no one can 
successfully argue with. I forgot bash is under the ( cough, communist, 
cough, cough ) GPL because I use it so much on BSDs. Oh well, I guess 
I'll just have to re-write bash from scratch and release it under the 
BSD license, just for DragonFly. If only I had the time.
