In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org It does not make sense to talk about FreeBSD going public. Cooperative open source development projects do not go public; corporations which market and distribute the code from them do. And there are many public companies that are already doing that. Look at Whistle (now part of the publicly traded IBM), Maxtor, Intel.... FreeBSD is already "public" in that sense. --Brett At 09:57 AM 12/30/99 , Gorden Fischer wrote: >Hi all: > >With all the jazz Linux had stirred up, I simply wonder if FreeBSD will >likely go public? > >Please cc me if you reply. > >Fischer > > > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
