ipf, iptables, etc

[Furmanek, Greg]

Well.... yes.
If you look at OpenBSD 2.9 source tree the ipf
is in the attic.  I guess they still ship it with
2.9 but it seems that they will make a clone of ipf
for openBSD since they do not want to have any 
licensing issues.  Ipf is not licensed under either
GPL or BSD licenses.  FreeBSD still will be using
ipf.
