BUT I WILL STILL GO ON SPREADING THE LIE THAT OpenBSD CONTAINS

    NON-FREE SOFTWARE SO PEOPLE ARE MISLEAD!!!!


I never intentionally said such a thing.  It was a misunderstanding,

because I chose words that were subject to misinterpretation.


I appreciate having been informed about the unclear statement.  To

prevent any further misunderstanding, I have had a clarifying note

posted in the page with the interview.


    > I don't object to general-purpose tools just for being general.


    How about OpenBSD ports system a general purpose tool given by

    developers to the users?


I think the general-purpose ports system framework is fine.  What I do

not want to recommend are the specific ports for specific non-free

programs.
