As a result of this conversation, I found myself once again cruising the OpenBSD website and noticed a particularly disturbing paragraph at the bottom of the front page at http://www.openbsd.org/goals.html: "Theo de Raadt has spent more than $30,000 (CDN) to make OpenBSD run so far, mostly due to expensive networking costs in Canada and such (due to USA crypto policies, it is not possible to move the project to the USA). No funding or cost-sharing of the project comes from any company or educational institution. As well, Theo works full-time on improving OpenBSD. Additional funding is urgently needed at all times, in fact a nice sponsorship or two would go a long ways towards ensuring that OpenBSD continues to exist. Currently the project is in grave danger. Please do not take this above statement too lightly, since the project is typically not in strong financial health. " I dunno, perhaps this is an opportune time to try to coordinate the projects? --gill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
