1. It looks like the big FreeBSD -> DragonFly conversion messed up
   quite a few manpages, which refer to things like DragonFly 4.3:
   eg, tuning(7)
2. Some time back Theo de Raadt requested removal of a program
   (cryptotest) from FreeBSD and NetBSD, because he never released it
   under a free software licence: see

   This stuff still seems to be in DragonFly
   (src/tools/tools/crypto/cryptokeytest.c, I believe.)
Theo never said ANY specific filename that was in violation to the  
FreeBSD mailing
list, when I talked with him off the list he replied he didn't know the  
specific files.
The file cryptotest.c was removed from FreeBSD using the assumption  
method
and DragonFly followed and removed the file a few hours later.

-DR

IMO both these issues need to be addressed...
