Some weird chap just sent me email in answer to a question I had about
NetBSD and FreeBSD...he claims that netBSD and FreeBSD are now illegal and I
will get sued 100,000 dollars if I use it.  

Then he calls BSDI a *cheap* alternative....

Is this man smoking crack before he reads news...does anybody have any idea
as to why this freak whould tell me they are ILLEGAL to use.  

If thats true, a bunch of ftp sites will be going bye bye...
