It seem that FreeBSD project is filtering IP packets comming from the OpenBSD project. In particular access from 199.185.137.*, and maybe 199.185.136.*, to www.freebsd.org. If this is true it marks a very low point on the history of FreeBSD. This from a project that claims: "We believe that our first and foremost "mission" is to provide code to any and all comers, and for whatever purpose, so that the code gets the widest possible use and provides the widest possible benefit. This is, I believe, one of the most fundamental goals of Free Software and one that we enthusiastically support." If the project is to succeed its in the basis of its quality, support, and technical merits, and not by means of cheap tricks. Anyone wish to comment?
