I think it’s based on the Minix one but I recall it was rejected on FreeBSD due to lack of i18n, and it’s also slower than GNU sort.

Dragonfly (and Debian GNU kFreeBSD obviously) seems to be the only BSD that has not taken any particular approach regarding GPLv3 software.

A short CS course. Thank you for posting it.
