Just because you fail to see one doesn't mean it didn't happen. You might want to read the cvs-all mailing list. If you'd like, I can supply you with some procmail filters that will put all of the commits of people who are/were supported by WC/BSDi/WRS into a folder called 'direct-positive-result-of-bsdi-funding'. I'm also unclear on how you have installed FreeBSD in the past few years, please clarify: [ ] purchased CD from BSDi [ ] downloaded from ftp.freebsd.org (which BSDi was paying for) [ ] downloaded from snapshot servers (partnership of USWest and WC/BSDi) [ ] downloaded from FTP mirror (who got their data from ftp.freebsd.org..) [ ] other (doesn't matter, the source that was used to generate the binaries was stored on WC/BSDi equipment) > Clearly this is a sore spot for you and you are incapable of being objective, > so I'll just leave it at that. blah blah blah. I read all your comments, I just knew how wrong they were. What you don't seem to realize is that BSDi did more then a retarded marketing campaign that failed miserably. I've expanded on what exactly they did in former replies to you, perhaps you might want to read them again. There are plenty of other BSD consipiracies with a lot less concrete evidence to prove them wrong, you may want to start trolling with those. done with this thread, -- Bill Fumerola / billf@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
