There are a couple of good reasons I can give you for not letting Poe out
the door yet.  First, we have not come up with a good
copyright/disclaimer
notice that both CMU and FSF are happy with.  Second, the code needs a
little
more work before it is a reasonable platform for random people to start
dropping functionality into.  With the addition of a real file system and
networking code(Both available in BSD4.4), we would have such a platform.
I think it fair to say that once both of these things are done (either
by us or FSF), then making this code more widely available would make
sense
