From: markemmanuel To: , "Questions freebsd.org" Message-ID: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I saw this on Linux Today. http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-05-02-012-20-OP-BD I'm not writing this email regarding the Zdnet article. I'd like everyone to check out one or two of the feedbacks at Linux Today. A whole slew of people are ripping on the BSD and Apple Open Source Licenses. I honestly believe that these people are worse than the Mac Zealots of old. What makes it worse is they don't understand what BSD stands for. They seem to have this godlike demeanor that I still haven't see with the BSD folks. If it's not GPL or Linux, it's bad. The growing attitudes and sentiments is what made me try out NetBSD and FreeBSD. I mean, they talk about free but they give me no options or choices with what I can do with their code. They also call Linus a benelovent dictator while the BSD seems to have a knights of the round table thing going on. After trying out BSD, I probably won't be going back to Linux anytime soon because the BSDs feel more superior technically and community-wise than Linux. I just would like to everyone that has helped me on these lists directly and indirectly for being simply good people.
