OpenBSD Founder Makes Funding Plea
Talkback One thing that I believe is missing from this article is a list of all companies that adopt the code from BSD, change it a little so other people can not interact with it, and then lock it up, so the can keep their monopolies or ability to...

The Gates Of Perception
Talkback We already know that Bill doesn't have a problem with Open Source .he's got enough ex-BSD code in Windows to prove this. With BSD you are not required to reciprocate, with GPL you are. We know that he doesn't like the GPL.
