Every time RMS has been asked to come into the tent is when there has been a license violation. His standard reply is "no comment". This only reaffirms his lack of respect for other projects and underscores his hypocrisy. He has been invited as a courtesy yet he never took the reaching hand because it didn't fit his agenda. > > If you think you have the moral high ground then argue that. > There are several very easy ways for OpenBSD to "take the moral high ground" > It is easy "our values and principles do not permit us to meet the > criteria RMS uses > for his recommendation".

Again you are trying to switch the conversation but I'll bite. I do NOT claim to have the moral high ground; RMS does. OpenBSD does not need to claim moral high ground by paying lip service; we write code that is made available to all to do whatever they please. No morality, no ethics, no double speak. Pure and simple. It is when we get accused of $lie by someone who does claim morality and ethics that we speak out. RMS freedom == slavery. Why would I want to have any part of that? You are a fan of his drivel? Good for you! Stop shoving it down my throat.
