    It is a matter of small twaeking.

    Just a quick reminder for those of you who have BSDI licenses at one
    time or another:

    From: Chris Coleman <chrisc@daemonnews.org>

    1) Making a Grass roots supported CVS tree availble to people who already
    source licenses.

    2) People who wanted to be come committer would have to renew their source
    license or buy a new source license if they had a binary license.
    Still have to earn a commit bit, read only access will be available to
    anyone who purchases a source license.

    3) Probably contributed packages project that you need at least a binary
    license to use and contribute to.

    -- End of message --

    This is for those who at one time had a BSDI BSD/OS license.
