right. And Maho used to be a principal in its maintenance. I was thinking about OpenBSD because: "On 14 January 2014, Bob Beck issued a request for funding to cover electrical costs. If sustainable funding was not found, Beck suggested OpenBSD would shut down.[39] The project soon received a USD$ 20 000 donation from Mircea Popescu, the Romanian creator of the MPEx Bitcoin stock exchange, paid in Bitcoins. The project raised USD$150 000[40] in response to the appeal, enabling it to pay its bills and securing its short term future.[41]" As is well known, OpenBSD had a dramatic birth: one of the original forks due as much to personality as to anything else. It also has kept with the "benevolent" dictator model (note the placement of the ironizing quotation marks). The begging campaign (aka fundraising) was successful, according to Wikipedia. -louis >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] >> For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] >> > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > MzK > > "Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." > -- Helen Keller > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
