There has been such a great soap opera on this on the OpenBSD mailing list.
It's nice to see mozilla.org donate some cash but the real money should be coming from IBM, Redhat, Cisco and all the other vendors that bundle OpenSSH into their products. Somewhere in that post is a link to an email chain where IBM demanded Theo fix a bug that was in OpenSSH. (I believe the bug was fixed in a more recent version of OpenSSH then they were bundling.)
Sure, they could change the license for OpenSSH and start making money off it but that's missing the point of what the BSD license is all about.
It costs a lot of money to run that project and keep ahead of the jerks who are trying to break into your systems every day.
If you use products from vendors that have OpenSSH bundled in them and they aren't on http://www.openbsd.org/donations.html then send them an email and ask them to give regularly. that's the only thing we can do to help keep us safe on this hostile internet!
I'm on OpenBSD with KDE and when I click on the button to register for an account, nothing happens. There's the reason, bad programming. They don't have customers because people can't register! JERKS
I sincerely believe that without an open source license linux would have been purchased. Because it was licensed with the GPL it continues to be open source. I would not contribute my time and code to a cause that someone else would profit from my hard work. I contribute because my hard work is free for the masses.
who is the idiot that called this post insightful. Slashdot has the most stupid reviewers in the world. FUCKING IDIOTS. yeah, give me that negative karma bitch!
Fireclick used to do that. They had javascript tags in the web pages that would preload content for you before you clicked anything. Same concept but with a search engine. I wonder if there's patent issues... oh no more bad karma!
personally I like them. The centralization of code is a big advantage, but I think the biggest advantage is typing the incoming data. This plugs some of the security holes.
Slashdot Mirror
I completely agree... WTF

There is the post from the archives, contact Theo if you want more information.
and by the way, the list of ungrateful vendors is much larger then I initially stated:
Sun Apple IBM HP Cisco Netgear RedHat SuSe
most operating system vendors except Microsoft
nearly other major network equipment manufacturer
(but many other vendors too)

that was a funny post!

I've got bad karma, so I don't care what my post is rated.
I submitted an article on another site and it got rejected.
The article reviewer is WEAK!
who gave that idiot an insightful 4 for his post?

Why not integrate autopilot or some navigation system that can guide the vehicles steering also?
Until they have a chip implanted in our head we can't hear digital...
sound has to be analog at some point and that can ALWAYS be recorded....
Let em waste all the money they want on security... it's useless... completely.
