I'm sure that we could find it somewhere else, but it might be nice to
have a copy of the Darwin license on-list, since the whole Mac OS/X
thing is something of an anomaly in the free-software world. Are they
free? Are they proprietary? ARE THEY TO BE TRUSTED??

Seriously though, go ahead and post the license, if it's not twenty
pages long. I'm interested.
