On a more serious note, I somewhat repulsed that a person would find a project release song repuslive. The repulsion is what I'd expect from the PHB sort. To me, having a song illustrates wonderfully the difference between Free Software/OSS communities and the corporate world. In the one world, creativity is stifled because creativity is often inefficient and non-productive, while in the other, creativity (the human spirit) is the entire purpose.
Even worse, when the corporate world does take on theme songs, they are geared towards mind-control. Take, for example, this old IBM company song:
(yes, sung to "Jingle Bells")
There are, of course, counter-examples on both sides, but the tendencies are clear.

Country is trying to branch out and find a way to appeal to younger listeners before all the current fans die in motorcycle or four-wheelin' accidents. Just the other day I heard a woman singing country rap on the radio, it was hip-hop crossed with country, using country instruments with a hip-hop rhythm. That must give people absolute fits. Of course, the chick couldn't rap, and it sounded awful, which I'm sure will vindicate good-ol'-boys across the nation.

The ipf code with the new license did not enter the OpenBSD cvs repository, so your link to the cvs repository shows the old license. Darren Reed later changed his license again, but then it was too late : OpenBSD had it's new packet filter pf (as op OpenbSD 3.0).
The author of ipf (Darren Reed) is regularly on the openbsd mailing lists, and quite often it's just gripe. This whole issue has become quite personal, jugding from the posts.

This clarification by Reed was absolutely intolerable because it prohibited bug fixes without his approval.
If this clarification had been in there from the beginning, I doubt the OpenBSD project would ever have used IPF.

In that case they, and "most people", need to practice their reading comprehension. The text of the license, which I am posting here for the third time, since nobody seems to actually want to read it, states: "Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted provided that this notice is preserved and due credit is given to the original author and the contributors."

No need - Darren clarified that changes WERENT permitted - after having his code accepted AND MODIFIED multiple times by multiple BSD developers.
It was only when he disagreed with a change the OpenBSD team made that he "clarified" his license.
Context matters - while the license did not specify that changes WERE or WERE NOT allowed, HE DID ALLOW THEM TO OCCUR - and only when he didnt get his way, did he "clarify" his position.
Not that it matters

That's fine that they removed ipf. pf is a nice replacement and all. My point is that OpenBSD claims that the license did change, when it clearly did not.

Back on topic, this post [sigmasoft.com] by Darren is particularly amusing:
