Updating the ieee80211(9) manual page

[Fehmi Noyan ISI]

Thanks Benjamin,

Both NetBSD [1] and FreeBSD [2] versions of ieee80211.9 manual pages have been licensed with a 2-cluase BSD license by their respective authors. 


If I update the FreeBSD ieee80211(9) man page with the information from ieee80211(9) man page from NetBSD, what should the license look like?

Would something similar to one given below be OK?


.\" Copyright (c) 2004 Bruce M. Simpson <bms at spc.org>
.\" Copyright (c) 2004 Darron Broad <darron at kewl.org>
.\" Copyright (c) 2009 Sam Leffler, Errno Consulting
.\" All rights reserved.
... rest of the license comes here

Also, in the HISTORY part, is it worth mentioning that the (FreeBSD) manual page was updated with the information from NetBSD IEEE80211 man page?


Thanks
Fehmi
