(Todd C Miller) Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc:1432 comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:9592 Speaking simply as someone who watched all of the sillyness that transpired on the NetBSD mailing lists during the Theo escapade, I'm sorrow that the schism happened, but that's about it. Theo has done some amazing work and I hope that the copyright for OpenBSD is in the Berkeley style so that the other BSD's can pick up some of his stuff. I'm sure that there will be quite a few people upset about yaBSD (yet another BSD), but I don't see healthy competition being a real problem as long as both camps are free to incorporate the other's ideas and code. Not surprisingly, this is how I felt about the NetBSD/FreBSD split. - todd -- Todd C. Miller Sysadmin--University of Colorado Todd.Miller@cs.colorado.edu
