My point exactly.

Contributors in our community yes, but this doesn't mean that a BSD

certification is worth the money they charge.
What it serves in my opinion, especially if the industri was backing it,

is a way to keep very skillful people from getting a job! Not the opposite.
A lot of people can't afford some 10 different certificates just to prove

something which a certificate in reality doesn't prove anyway.

Perhaps I am mistaken about the "them making money part", but I agree

with this. No value!
