They tagged him as a troll or worse they put him in with TM-whatever. As far as the codebase question, he was not the one to bring it up. If I can read between his lines, I understand that when you go in front of the suits you can't tell them RTFM. You have to explain why FreeBSD is head and shoulders above the leader of the pack. The Suits hold the purse strings. They read the newspaper. They see the advertisements. They hear the hype. They say, "We were thinking of an MS solution. Why would we use FreeBSD? What is wrong with Linux as an alternative". Anthony's legal questions were a normal continuation of the flow of this thread. I stand by my statement. I happen to find Anthony's views on this subject both provocative and right on the money. Robert
