OpenBSD Fork Bitrig Announced

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday June 13, 2012 @05:30AM from the netcraft-confirms-netbsd-developers-arming-for-war dept.

With the goal of bringing more experimental development to the OpenBSD code base, a few developers have announced a fork named Bitrig. According to their FAQ, Bitrig aims to build a small system targeting only modern hardware and "be a very commercially friendly code base by using non-viral licenses where possible." Their first step toward that goal was removing GCC in favor of LLVM/Clang. The project roadmap shows their future goals as adding FUSE support, improving multiprocessing, porting the system to ARM, and replacing the GNU C++ library with LLVM's.

"commercially friendly"
It would be a good definition for a stripper.
How about "receiver of swollen goods".

Sounds like when we tried to hire a female penetration tester.
