Agreed, but would you except either in ports ?
The question is not what is possible, but what are you willing to
endorse.
The purpose of the extreme example is to point out that including
something within
ports has meaning.
Sure. Of course. A tool is just a tool. To not point at a given tool
just because it could be used for evil is fairly fucking arrogant.
But software which OpenBSD uses and redistributes must be free to all
(be they people or companies), for any purpose they wish to use it,
including modification, use, peeing on, or even integration into baby
mulching machines or atomic bombs to be dropped on Australia.
