The NetBSD Project is pleased to announce the results of its participation in Google’s “Summer of Code“. After Google announced this program to introduce students to the world of open source software development at the beginning of June, the NetBSD Project was happy to join the approximately 40 other open source groups as a mentoring organization and compiled a list of suggested projects.
most of the suggested projects never got done. There is some cool stuff there.
I can’t wait for the OnLamp article.
There is still alot (usable?) code out there. It is still a good thing. Others if not the orginal person creating it will probably finish up the projects.
BSD licensed privacy guard
BSD licensed rsync replacement
BSD tool to create ISO filesystems
BSD licensed XFS

🙂 FUNNY !!! May be they must try to INVENT something …
It’s not easy when code always flows one way: BSD-licensed code gets into the linux/GPL world, but the reverse never happens… a high price to pay for the truly free license.
That’s not really true. NetBSD developers are quite open that they will review GPL code and incorporate what they learn into the NetBSD tree.
Maybe, but they are restricted from using the actual code in the base system in any form. If they did, you would have seen the authors of the GPL code attempt to stop them which is why NetBSD needss to recreate BSD versions.
How about the:
TCP/IP stack
OpenSSH
that YOU use?
How about the Unix File System that Sun and others use(d)?
These are just off the top of my head. Who do you think invented those?
