svn commit: r45153 - head/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing

Author: eadler
Date: Sun Jun 29 07:58:38 2014
New Revision: 45153
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/45153

Log:
  There is an ongoing effort to replace GPL portions of FreeBSD with free
  software alternatives.  The statement that GPL is acceptable is no
  longer correct.
  
  The surrounding documentation is actually more strict than it should be
  (for example, we accept the CDDL license).  However, this is not in the
  scope of this change.
