I wasn't aware of Ericsson's submission on this basis. Whilst FreeBSD's 
license is recognised by the OSI, the implications of having code in the 
kernel which are covered by an Ericsson patent are quite grim if anyone 
wishes to use FreeBSD for commercial purposes.

I therefore agree with you that that this change should not go in, and 
have removed it from the Wiki.

Kind regards,
