That's got nothing to do with what was talked about. It's not about the
OpenBSD cd, but about having ...
http://www.openbsd.org/4.2_packages/i386.html
... distributing proprietary software, which is tantamount to a
recommendation that is RMS's problem with OpenBSD. Nothing else... even
the extremely rude personalities of some of the people here wouldn't
stop him from recommending OpenBSD if it wasn't for that.
That small (it's only a few packages) problem could be easily fixed and
get OpenBSD listed at FSF's page.
Don't act like children in a tantrum, who seldom listen to reason.

This list is actually the first place I read of widespread use of GCC
for making proprietary software. Since so many lies are said about what
RMS promotes or not, I don't feel confident in taking your word for it
(specially since you seem to resort easily into insults).

/me smiles... such a troll I must be, who's replacing proprietary packet
filters with OpenBSD everywhere I can.
