I need some help to understand the problem. I have not checked _all_ modules in usr.sbin/pppd but the dozen i checked are " distribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted provided that the above copyright notice and this..." or "this is in public domain..." style. I thought those licenses acceptable.

As a new OBSD user i would like to try to help with this issue but could you please point me to the unclear licenses. Using OBSD private and perhaps also commercial soon i am really interested in the licensing issues and willing to invest some time if i had some pointers to start with...
