But I don't see any corresponding document about Linux, for example. On the other hand, I like the site. They've got a lot of interesting stuff there, stuff that makes Really Good Arguments for free software. It's abundantly clear that FreBSD needs to participate in this effort. Despite all that's been said, I don't see Eric as being Linux-centric to the extent of partisanship, and ignoring things because you don't like the people tends to be counterproductive. > I'd do this myself, but I'm just a bit burned out right now > and this isn't a task which absolutely requires a jkh anyway. :) Oh?
