One of the things which attracted me to FreeBSD in the first place was
the relatively democratic development model and philosophy behind it.
You may find this document helpful, "How to Pay for Free Software", as
it explains many points behind how free software funding works:
http://users.puzzling.org/users/mary/HOWTO/Free/
FYI: I have not been directly funded by any of the entities called out
in this thread. I often act as an unpaid volunteer on FreeBSD, or as an
independent consultant. Much of my work has been funded by individuals
directly, in some cases. I am therefore able to provide an unbiased opinion.
I actually don't have a problem with not creating unnecessary code
churn, regardless of third parties who may be using shared code. It
seems to me quite reasonable not to make more work for oneself, or
others, unnecessarily.
I therefore disagree with the points you raise in your messages here,
and actually find them unhelpful. I am saddened that you continue to
make these irrational protestations despite my polite private message to
you off-list.
Could you please take your objections elsewhere? You are wasting
people's time.
regards,
BMS
