Huge kudos to Theo & friends for creating the freest fully-functional OS in existence! Licensing politics (see http://copyFREE.org) is a big reason why I switched to OpenBSD, even on the desktop, but it isn't a black-and-white issue. There are some things that FreeBSD does right. I would like to see OpenBSD become even more of a leader in getting rid of restrictive licenses (both proprietary copyRIGHT and anti-free-market copyLEFT) by replacing things like gcc + toolchain, groff, lynx, etc. Apache, sendmail, and artsy licenses (i.e. perl) aren't really copyFREE either (I have a 256 word threshold for legalese). The dependence on perl in particular is a significant downside... -- Alex Libman, http://AlexLibman.com
