I don't suppose you'd be able to write an article for daemonnews which lists some of the code contributed by companies. As well as some reasons why they have contributed. This might be an interesting read for some GPL lovers to show that you don't need to force corporations. Please don't mention the GPL or Linux at all in the article. (I'm getting tired of the comparison drivel, which does seem to continously take pok shots at Linux.) I'd also like to use the article for my advocacy stuff :) -- And when the future hinges on the next words that are said, don't let -- Rod Taylor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
