No surprises there. Well spoken! Buuuuut: Some people obviously are too ignorant to realize that it's Theo and his fellow developers who make a donation to the world: They give away the result of their outstanding private efforts to build an OS according to their ideals FOR FREE (and some other programs like OpenSSH, etc.)! OpenBSD is Theos and his friends private passion! This is not a public not-for-profit organization. Some people should keep that in mind when mailing here! From my personal point of view Theo has shared a lot of information that I feel is no one else business! BTW: With Theos well-known temper in mind his statements on this issue are remarkable generous what might well be interpreted as his respect for Wim and the job he did for the project. If Bob (not Theo!) feels that the way distributing CDs to Europe needs to be re-adjusted (yes, I make a living as a business consultant) he does it in the light of his responsibility for his business and the terms and conditions he has agreed on to deliver to Europe. Calm down folks: Theo only made public that after 4.5 the central European distribution via kd86.com will have come to an end. There are other ways to support the project, there will be other distributors who jump in to fill the gap and if Bob, Theo and Wim settle for a reasonable agreement kd85.com might be one of them. Full stop. STEFAN
