====== Replacing dialog with bsddialog ======

===== Task Completed =====

This page is obsoleted as the dialog/bsddialog replacement is complete in %%FreeBSD%% 15.0 CURRENT. No utility in BASE uses dialog(1), dpv(1) -> dpv(3) -> dialog(3) anyway no component in BASE uses dpv.

===== Introduction =====

This page describes the project to replace LGPL-Licensed dialog (utility and library) in %%FreeBSD%% Base with a BSD-Licensed alternative: bsddialog, as part of a broader effort to remove [[GPLinBase|GPL-Licensed code in FreeBSD]].
