   Harumph. I should not have been so glib. "There shouldn't be AT&T code   
   in FreeBSD" would have been better.   
      
   That code came from Sun, who paid  to be able to release   
   Solaris as open source.  So that's what you're seeing. It's part   
   of ZFS, which Sun developed originally.   
      
   I suspect that the AT&T copyright notices are simply copy/paste from   
   whatever file the Sun engineers copied before turning the file into   
   part of ZFS.   
      
   In any case, I doubt that there's anything illegal there.  Any further   
   questions should be taken up with the FreeBSD people.
