> Having a consortium may also give potential comercial software > creators more reason to write/port software to the os's. And may also give other software vendors (OS vendors) reason to go for round two with us :-( Don't forget the business adage: If you'r a big company, & your market place is being threatened by a small company, Sue them, doesnt matter what for, just Sue them, it wastes the directors time, they slip schedules, & may even give up .... Well FreeBSD doesnt have directors, but it does have activists who would'nt want to see more lawyers letters. I can see some benefirt from a consortium, but I can see some danger too, I also forsee a request to create a seperate mailing list to dump such discusions into, to keep 'em out of hackers@f..
