Oh. So why should they >want to cooperate on the question of the Ports Collection? Didn't a number of the PC-based Unix "vendors" (including Linus himself) get together recently and decide to work together on a common binary code format? Anyone have a reference for that? I'll agree that it's usually politics and hubris that keep the BSD's from merging more than anything else. It doesn't mean there are bits and pieces that couldn't be integrated, and that there wouldn't be benefit from doing so.
