Well, the US Government *does* refer to many of the things it does and produces as "products," so I wouldn't exactly say that none of it was productized. Also, one might say that the BSD TCP/IP stack was a product of the US Government via DARPA. So, I would disagree with him, but on the grounds that much of the software and/or services really *were* productized. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
