By way of evidence, I present the following > terms, used frequently in correspondence on these lists: What I find ironic, is that the talent drifts either to fully=20 commercial projects, or those which are licensed under BSD - and in=20 many cases even both. If I want an unixlike OS that does what I need=20 with minimal fuss and where things are added due their merit in=20 improving usability/speed/stability rather results in artificial tests=20 the OS will be one of the BSD's. The quality of the BSD licensed=20 software added with the quality of documentation (Cyrus might be the=20 exception as the documentation goes...) just far exceeds anything else=20 available for free or "free". FreeBSD might not support every gadget out there, but for the most=20 part, the supported selection has always been good enough for the use=20 I have. For that thanks go to the core team and other coders and=20 documentation writers as well as people testing releases and betas=20 without just shutting up when they hit trouble, but reporting the said=20 problems so they will hopefully get fixed for every user. -Reko=20
