NetBSD prides themselves on their clean code working on over 50 archs i beleive. 30 something considered stable. Adding a port to a new arch hasnt fragmented NetBSD thusfar, I see no reason why this one would.
OpenBSD is not GPL, it falls under the BSD lisence. This lisence allows corporations to use the code, make changes and keep it closed source. It is generally more attractive for commercial use in this respect than say linux which is GPLed.
Ok its obvious the microbsd project branched from openbsd and they did a search/replace for all mentions of the string openbsd to microbsd. Every project has to start somewhere. For certain individuals to put pressure on them to shut down is very un-opensource-like. The problem could have been corrected through more civilized channels. By pressuring them to close shop is taking the route of everyone's favorite conglomerate, MicroSoft. It stifled a project that in the future could have been very useful to the opensource world and other operating systems like OpenBSD could have eventually learned from. Instead the project is now over something trivial. I can't imagine the OpenBSD community honestly thought that MicroBSD was trying to steal credit for writing code such as openssh. Let's all remember that OpenBSD essentially started as a branch of NetBSD. Now MicroBSD branches from OpenBSD and they are persecuted for making a mistake...

Damn I just put the whole internet in my subnet... what a shame!

Either nanotech or extinction is supposed to kick in before that.
I think his statement which implies "if you use them both you would understand" applies quite well.
