Thanks, Matthew, for some balances in this thread.
I don't see a need to reconcile the two sides. (It would be good if
that
was possible, though.)
RMS wrote, why in his personal opinion, he does not recommend the
use of
OpenBSD. And some p*** at him. What a shame ! 'Freedom' is not only
one's choice of software, but also one's choice of an own opinion.
It would serve this list and the people on it well, to allow RMS to
voice
his own opinion. And, if in personal disagreement, argue. Like some
actually did in here.
Nobody is criticizing RMS over his opinion. They are criticizing him
for ignorance and misrepresentation of the facts regarding OpenBSD.
