Hello,

I have stumbled on a page that I don't know if it's true or fake?!?!

Can someone help me out with this one...

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=OpenBSD&hl=en&lr=&selm=a88kjv%24bp6%241%40xyzzy.courtesan.com&rnum=2

If it's true, could I also get some opionions?

Thanks,

       Kevin Veroneau

specially after OBSD started dumping gpl stuff from the core programs even rewriting some utilities. you will not hear any comment from the core obsd developers though.

MS has enough money to persuade the core group.

err, look at the date dude...

This article must be a joke *but* Windows is known to import BSD licensed code. I've heard that the W2K (and above) network stack is derived from the FreeBSD stack. It'd be interesting to scan through the acknowledgements for Windows and try to find the obligatory BSD license blurb. There's bound to be BSD code in there somewhere...
