Actually, in the quote from the interview you refer first to the installation system, and then confuse the installation system with the ports tree (as that quote applies to OpenBSD). > ... > The people who created this tangent chose one way I described the > facts, and picked a wrong interpretation, ... There has been no misintepretation of the quote, were it pronounced by a competent speaker of the English language. It is possible that the speaker misspoke, or was ill-informed at the time of the interview. In any case, you can clarify the point by acknowledging on this list that OpenBSD is 100% free, and neither includes nor distributes non-free software. > ... they raised an imaginary issue, and denounced me for a claim > they should have known I did not make. Oh, but then it is trivial to resolve the imaginary issue. Just acknowledge on this list that OpenBSD is 100% free, and neither includes nor distributes non-free software.
