"Even if you don't use OpenBSD, you're likely to be benefiting from it unknowingly. If you're using Solaris, SCO UnixWare, OS X, SUSE Linux, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux, chances are you're using the OpenBSD-developed OpenSSH for secure shell access to remote machines. If so many are using this software, why are so few paying for it? Official responses (and non-responses) from Sun Microsystems, IBM, Novell, and Red Hat are below, but if you're one of the freeloaders who hasn't contributed to OpenBSD or OpenSSH, what's your excuse?"

"You brought up the GPL vs BSD topic. The GP was talking about BSD flaws only. "
No i didnt.
Quote: "At least the GPL requires changes be made available. "
Changes are irrelevant when what you lack is funding.
"You are the same, taking jabs at the GPL as soon as someone shows BSD flaws"
I'm searching for the part which is not flamebait in what you wrote there.
Sorry, where have i taken any jabs at the GPL? I said that neither the GPL nor the BSD license addresses the problem at hand, namely financing. Sure, I jabbed at the zealots but even though I dont favor the GPL I have nothing against people using it for their projects.
