  1. Rewording of SCSL on Sun Unilaterally Revokes the FreeBSD Java License · · Score: 1

    As far as I see it, it must be the rewording Sun is doing in SCSL, in order to use it also in OpenSolaris.

  2. Re:Doesn't compile on Linux on OpenBSD Project Announces OpenBGPD · · Score: 1

    No, henning = Henning Brauer (OpenBSD hacker). Good work in bgpd, ntpd, pf, apache privsep... !!! ;)

  3. Re:Why NOT? on OpenBSD Activism Shows Drivers Can Be Freed · · Score: 2, Informative

    OpenBSD has just imported a FREE driver for Atheros card reverse engineered without the HAL stuff ;) ------- CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: src Changes by: reyk@cvs.openbsd.org 2004/11/01 20:01:16 Added files: sys/dev/ic : ar5xxx.c ar5xxx.h ar5210.c ar5210reg.h ar5210var.h Log message: import of a free hal part for the ath driver as a replacement for the binary-only hal module found in FreeBSD and NetBSD. OpenBSD's approach is based on reverse engineering because it is _not_ possible to include a non-free and binary-only piece of software in a 100% free operating system. it still lacks some features found in the "official" hal module but this will be done very soon with a help by a lot of contributors - because it's free. ok deraadt@
