Theo de Raadt wrote about the Intel Core 2 Duo chip: "Various developers are busy implementing workarounds for serious bugs in Intel's Core 2 cpu. These processors are buggy as hell, and some of these bugs don't just cause development/debugging problems, but will assuredly be exploitable from userland code." Intel has given a response to the concerns as well.

Actually no, since the ISC licence has existed longer than the CDDL, Sun chose not to allow it's code into OpenBSD's tree.
The CDDL is a recent development and one made specifically so Sun's code stays in Sun's control, this is not an issue that OpenBSD chose, it is one that they chose in order to maintain control over Solaris and it's associated technologies.
There is no need to be acusatory of Theo in this matter, Sun's the one that has decided not to play nice with anyone else. And as already stated, Theo wasn't whining about the inability to take code from Sun's CDDL sources, I was just pointing that out in my previous post, was I somehow confusing you?
