Of course this issue does concern all of us who advocate the various uses of fBSD. And in as much as I doubt that much will occur to change the free usage of fBSD or even the free access to resources relating to fBSD. I feel quite confident that we as a community will come together and make what ever resources available that would be required to maintain the myriad of web, cvs, and ftp servers. I am absolutely sure that there we are an amazingly resilient community, and that we will not let fBSD be diverted, nor abused... I can guarantee that if things were to dissolve between the fBSD crew and IX Systems, there would be no shortage of offers for co-location space, connectivity and the like so that the fBSD project will continue on. I know of one concrete offer already and the project need say the word and it will be done.
