As far as I understand, the OpenBSD position appears to be that trying

    to police users by forbidding them to maintain and retrieve port

    metadata about unfree software via this adjunct service (that is not

    included in the OS) would be a restriction of the users' freedom.


Obviously I disagree with that position.  This isn't an issue of the

users' freedom at all.  It is an issue of what OpenBSD says to the

public.
