Theo de Raadt Discusses OpenBSD and Beyond
emil writes to tell us that NewsForge (Slashdot Sister Site) is running an interview with OpenBSD project leader Theo de Raadt. In the interview Theo explores the upcoming release of OpenBSD 3.9, continuing financial difficulties, and some of the tension between the OpenBSD team and other businesses that some feel are taking advantage of the free software without giving anything back. In related news the Jem Report has an interesting writeup that expounds on widespread difficulties that could be faced if the OpenBSD project continues its downward spiral because of their parallel development of OpenSSH.
But this guy is an ass. There are plenty of Open Source products that people don't pay for. Does Google pay for Linux and Apache? Does Yahoo pay for FreeBSD, does Apple? Nope. If you don't like it, don't use the license.
Someone would probably give OpenBSD a grant, but Theo has already proven he doesn't know when to shut up and has problems playing with others. Cry me a river.
The more you know, the less you understand.
Some companies use open source software and they don't pay for it??!! I for one am shocked.
