Today's announcement of the abandonment of Slackware caught me by surprise. All Slackware employees laid off. Slackware was *profitable* for Walnut Creek and BSDi. I think they've lost more in good will than they will gain. That, plus some blatant GPL baiting, makes Windriver pretty slimy. So, how is FreeBSD going to fare? Will they be canned as well? Will they try to distance themselves from Windriver? I think it would serve Windriver right if Slackware, FreeBSD and the ftp.freesoftware.com people upped, left, and started over with their own company.
