My project was/is intended as a replacement for PicoBSD, and as such it wouldn't make much sense to keep it proprietary. I wanted to call it TinyBSD, and I thought that if it ever became widely known, it would be convenient to have http://www.tinybsd.org/ take to you its web site. Of course, that's not to say I couldn't make money with it; being hired somewhere to do embedded FreeBSD work would rock (readers: yes, that last sentence was a *hint*). I ultimately wish that I'll complete the toolkit, it will be adopted as a replacement for Pico, and www.tinybsd.org will point to somewhere inside www.freebsd.org. -- Jeffrey S.
