And I can't imagine how *anyone* could take this perspective given any of the stuff they've read so far. FreeBSD will remain, as I have gone to great pains to state in every interview I've granted, COMPLETELY UNCHANGED as far as being free and open is concerned. How could BSDI *not* let FreeBSD be free, perhaps I should ask you that? You know of some special way of herding cats that's been hitherto undiscovered, perhaps? > I've been using FreeBSD since August 1994 (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) If you think it's possible to bend the FreeBSD project to anyone's corporate will then you've never even come close to understanding who we are or what we stand for. That's a shame since one would think 6 years to be more than enough time to gain such an understanding. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
