| I've heard it referred to as the theory (or doctrine) of enlightened self- | interest. What we need is a really good article (mandatory plug: Daemon News) | on the advantages of the BSD license. Definitely. | What an excellent starting point. A few obvious other ones leap to my mind, | including Kirk's softupdates code, Grog's vinum volume manager, and a lot | of the VM work contributed by Matt Dillon in the search for more performance I thought maybe these were just because the users/programmers also happen to be FreeBSD supporters, or that maybe they were the exception to the rule. What is the likelihood that for every 'give back' we get, there are 3 other great modifications that are kept locked away somewhere? | for his applications. I'll really look forward to reading that article, | Eivind. ;^) He's got my vote. :-) Jonathon -- Microsoft complaining about the source license used by Linux is like the event horizon calling the kettle black.
