Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

1. 50+% of NO_PIE use is fixed by adding -fPIC to INTERNALLIB and other
build-only utility libraries.
2. Another 40% is fixed by generating _pic.a variants of various libraries.
3. Some of the NO_PIE use is a bit absurd as it is disabling PIE (and ASLR)
where it never would work anyhow, such as csu or loader. This suggests
there may be better ways of adding support to the tree. Many of these
cases can be fixed such that -fPIE will work but there is really no
reason to have it in those cases.
4. Some of the uses are working around hacks done to some Makefiles that are
really building libraries but have been using bsd.prog.mk because the code
is cleaner. Had they been using bsd.lib.mk then NO_PIE would not have
been needed.
We likely do want to enable PIE by default (opt-out) for non-tree consumers
(such as ports). For in-tree though we probably want to only enable PIE
(opt-in) for common attack targets such as remote service daemons and setuid
utilities. This is also a great performance compromise since ASLR is expected
to reduce performance. As such it does not make sense to enable it in all
utilities such as ls(1) that have little benefit to having it enabled.
Reported by: kib
This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

(work done by Kris Kennaway <kris@FreeBSD.org>). Also fix the new warnings
which show up once gcc starts checking the "printf-like parameters" passed

more sensible/understandable. 'from'->'from_host' 'host'->'local_host'
'fromb'->'frombuf' 'fromhost'->'origin_host' and a local-variable
named 'host'->'hostbuf'. This fixes some compile-time warnings about
local variables shadowing global variables.
Other than renaming variables, the only actual code changes are to call
strlcpy() instead of strncpy() when setting those (renamed) variables,
and that 'from_ip' is now a strdup()-created buffer instead of being a
static buffer compiled in as 1025 bytes.

yet-to-be-built libraries.
Get the default BINDIR correctly (by including ../Makefile.inc recursively.
Override the default it it is wrong.
Don't override defaults when the defaults are correct.
- Get rid of a lot of the static variables which were shared by
many routines and programs in the suite.
- Create an abstract interface to the printcap database, so that
other retrieval and iteration mechanisms could be developed
(e.g., YP, Hesiod, or automatic retrieval from a trusted server).
- Give each capability a human-readable name in addition to the historic
two-character one.
- Otherwise generally clean up a lot of dark corners. Many still remain.
- When submitting jobs, use the official login name record (from getlogin())
