Here's another prediction: Microsoft has recognized the importance of Open Source Software. They are currently planning to defuse the DOJ proceedings by making all their software sources free and turning into a pure service organization fuelled by the recognition that no real hacker would touch their code anyway. Likely? No, I just made it up. I suspect that the source of your message did the same. I can't see the slightest sign of such a movement, unless it's one disgruntled developer who thinks he can go it alone. Even then, it couldn't be called FreeBSD, since that's a registered trade mark. David Greenman asked for a URL. Can you supply it?
