FreeBSD 16 Retires The Last Of Its GPL Code From Its Base System

FreeBSD 16 从其基础系统中移除了最后一部分 GPL 代码

As of this past week in the FreeBSD source tree for FreeBSD 16, the last of the GNU GPL licensed code from the base system has been retired. 在过去的一周里，FreeBSD 16 的源代码树中移除了基础系统里最后一部分采用 GNU GPL 许可的代码。

The dialog implementation was the last piece of GNU GPL licensed software in FreeBSD’s base system. The FreeBSD installer previously transitioned to using bsddialog in place of dialog and then dpv was the last user of dialog but itself since turned off and now retired. dialog 的实现是 FreeBSD 基础系统中最后一款采用 GNU GPL 许可的软件。FreeBSD 安装程序此前已过渡到使用 bsddialog 来替代 dialog，而 dpv 曾是 dialog 的最后一个使用者，但该组件本身也已被禁用并随之移除。

This ticket to retire dialog was opened back in February while is now merged to the FreeBSD source tree for what will become FreeBSD 16.0. 这项关于移除 dialog 的工单早在二月份就已开启，目前已合并至 FreeBSD 源代码树中，并将包含在未来的 FreeBSD 16.0 版本里。

With dialog removed, the latest FreeBSD code now retires the GNU sub-tree of the FreeBSD base system now that no more GNU code remains. 随着 dialog 的移除，最新的 FreeBSD 代码现已将 FreeBSD 基础系统中的 GNU 子目录一并撤除，因为其中已不再包含任何 GNU 代码。

FreeBSD 16.0 is working its way toward release that is expected to happen in December 2027. FreeBSD 16.0 正处于开发阶段，预计将于 2027 年 12 月正式发布。
