There's no point in jumping to conclusions until we see what happens. There's a lot that *could* happen, but only time will tell. As has been said before, i don't think BSDi would be foolish enough to kill the golden goose. Frankly, there isn't enough FreeBSD support to do that. We are growing, but not a threat... yet. Hopefully, the OSS system will remain intact, and BSDi will realize the $$$ is in support and specialized apps/drivers, rather than closing up the source. -- -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
