Re: identifying software and licenses used in base install

FWIW, the permission I seek is from my Legal department.  They want to
ensure that 1) we don't use software having unacceptable licenses or in
unacceptable ways, and 2) that the terms of all the copyrights are
adhered to (e.g., reproducing attribution statements, etc.).

At this point, it appears that I'm going to need to use a script to
analyze the entire source tree in order to generate a report.
Fortunately, a colleague has such a script for FreeBSD that I hope to
adapt.  I'll see if I can send the result here as well.

While I'm installing just a subset of src.tar.gz (base62, etc62, and
man62), it appears from the responses here that it's not possible to
isolate the source code for those parts.  I guess I'll run the script
over the entire this and see what happens.

Thanks again,
Kent
