But the whole thing disappoints me greately, cause I was pretty sure at least FreeBSD developers won't be affected by a mere FUD. Do you honestly think the probability of Tuomo suing us is higher of, say, me suing, well, us? And that anything will change by us not providing a port we have absolutely totally utterly 100% right to provide? That is just silly.
