This is a common misconception.
BSD is about people pissing each other, because they don't want to admit
that
Even at the kernel level? Look at device drivers and vendors as one
example ... companies like adaptec have to write *one* device driver, for,
what, 50+ distributions of linux ... for us, they need to write one for
FreeBSD, one for NetBSD, one for OpenBSD, and *now* one for DragonflyBSD
I'd rather have Adaptec provide a source code driver for their cards
directly, then have Scott Long have to fight with unavailability of
documentation itself ... if the driver works, what do we need
documentation for?
To fix the driver.
A given piece of source code can only been believed
If the vendor is supporting the driver, and working with the community,
then one would hope that they would also fix the driver as bug reports
come in about it ...
That's too many ifs to be realworld-compatible.
And actually the only vendors I can think of which are working with the
