As recently reported on OpenBSD's errata page, a problem in the mbuf handling of IPv6 has been elevated to a security issue. This means that OpenBSD now has two remote exploits in 10 years, as already reflected on the OpenBSD Homepage. Theo advises to to update the system (or to block IPv6 using PF as a workaround).

"Your false point was , they are not GPL. You just added only now."
Really now, shall we see what I actually did say:
"None of the below projects are GPL:"
And that is true, they aren't. They are either not GPL or multi-licensed where *one* license is GPL and thus you arent coding for a GPL project since your code can (and will) be licensed under some non-GPL license.
I don't mind the GPL but with so many cornerstone projects NOT being GPL saying that "most OSS developers prefer GPL" is a far stretch. No doubt many do but many != most.
RE[9]: Now... this is serious!

"What you actually did say , Is not what you copy pasted , and is not what you thought you said"
Thanks for explaining what I thought I said because obviously I didn't say what I actually said...
"if the GPL is used its a GPL project."
Not if it's a multi-license project.
"If the code goes in the GPL version , you are coding GPL code and are coding for a GPL project ,"
Thats not how the multi-license project works. The code you write can be used with any of the licenses or perhaps you can provide any proof of, say, Perl code that is in the "GPL-version" and not the "Artistic-version".
"You cant even identify what is GPL from what is not. "
Sure I can, it's the code with the GPL attached.
"We are discussing the *majority* , it means the one who as the most software"
That's not at all what we are discussing, we are discussing what license developers prefer. This has nothing to do with "who as the most software".
"No , its called a fact and reality , GNU/Linux as the most software and most developer of all the OSS projects and the majority use the GPL."
That does not mean all those developers *prefer* the GPL to other licenses. Contributing code to a project with a certain license does not mean that's the license you prefer, be it BSD,GPL or what-have-you.

"I never said they're BSD"
It was implied , sorry.
"I said they're not GPL and that's true in every one of the cases"
that's where you are wrong and have been proved false by me.
"which still proves my point"
No , it prove that some software who are in high usage do not use the GPL or are GPL and licensed with something else , The point you where refuting is that the majority is not GPL , you failed to achieve it by offering false information and being wrong.
" they're not GPL only)."
Your false point was , they are not GPL. You just added only now. You still fail to prove majority to other license or something else then GPL.
