Hopefully this happened just in time to show the EU the sillyness of the patent system. I wonder how long the US can hold up a system with so many bogus patents...
Security updates are still released for older FreeBSD versions, as well as NetBSD versions. Have a look at http://www.netbsd.org/Security/ and you will see that security updates are made for NetBSD 1.5. NetBSD 1.5 was released at the end of 2000, yep, that is over three years ago. It is true that the FreeBSD EOL is shorter, but it is not hard to track a -STABLE branch.
