OpenBSD Foundation At Risk Of Shutting Down

It seems like a lot of people who dislike BSD in general have some warped view of BSD licenses in general.

No, it seems you have no clue about licenses at all. Linux/FLOSS ecosystem is competitor to proprietary software. It makes BDS licenses unacceptable in most cases, because they automatically support proprietary software. It's stupid to fight and support the one you're fighting same time. However, it seems it's not obvious for some people.

You keep talking shit, doing nothing in your life to contribute to the community, and leave the work to people that really care about it, and have the knowledge and leadership to lead the path, like Theo.

Get a life, loser.

It was already proven TdR is a hypocrite. He attacks Linux, because of blobs, but he doesn't see anything wrong in bsd license. Some Linux distributions provide blobs, because in some cases it's an only way to compete with Windows. It's much different than being bsd, so proprietary friendly.

I'm associated with aboutthebsd, because I made some comments out there? Btw. you sound like a pervert.

You people crack me up.

Please avoid responding to Pawlerson, beetreetime, and anyone associated with aboutthebsds blog. They are known trolls who have been active for years and how they are able to avoid being banned everywhere for their homophobic and idiotic bile is astonishing. He enjoys receiving a shocked response to his lies and you must starve him of this to stop him. It is imperative that you never directly address him either.

Let me fix that for you.

Three kernel overflows in pf?
I can't find a trace of those online, so you had better have a source for that.

FBI agents...illegally copied GPL code sans copyright notices...to add exploits...with de Raadt's assistance?
Ahem. Someone does not have a clue what their lies mean:
-The original source, who may be unreliable (one alleged accomplice was apparently never associated with the FBI), claims only that FBI agents added exploits.
-If they illegally copied code to add exploits, where are the bugfixes in the Linux kernel? That claim cannot stand without saying that Linux has an open hole in its crypto layer. But the original source said no such thing.
-It's a very strange definition of "assistance" that allows for forwarding a claim before a rebuttal was prepared, that results in an audit conducted by several developers, that finds and closes some different security holes, and concludes with "I believe that NETSEC was probably contracted to write backdoors as alleged...I am happy that people are taking the opportunity to audit an important part of the tree which many had assumed -- for far too long -- to be safe as it is."

So while there may be some truth to two of the four elements of the claim, the two that are relied upon are blatantly inventions of the author of that collection of disinformation more than worthy of SCO.

Anyhow, please excuse me. I probably ought to go check the depth of the farm pond; it's certainly deeper in here.

From that article, it appears that de Raadt is not just a hypocrite when it comes to freedom but also clean systems and security. I fully agree with that.

OpenBSD zealots claim that they aim for a clean system but you can see Apache, SendMail, nix, and so many old, bloated and unless crap in the base.

With security, it’s a huge one, first and formost, OpenBSD doesn’t even have MAC. They rely too much on the believe that their code is bug-less form security. Time and time again, it has been proven that bug free code is impossible. Not to mention that they have apache, bind and SendMail in the base. Applications known for horrible vulnerabilities. I known Apache is being replaced by nginx and sendmail by OpenSMTPD but this is 2014 ang Nginx has been around a long time while OpenSTMP is unproven crap that’s not production ready.

OpenBSD’s motto of heavy auditing and full disclosure is also hypocritic, they are nothing about heavy auditing and full disclosure but rather abit of audting and coverups. The same can be said for M$ but the difference is that M$ would nowadays secretly patch the vulnerability while OpenBSD does nothing.



I’m really sad that there are people stupid enough fall for OpenBSD trap. The people that donated should really be made to learn what the OpenBSD project really is and how much of a wast is their donation.

I should point out that the majority of funds that are received by FreeBSD and OpenBSD are used to buy alcohol for BSD conferences and hackathons (which are themselves nothing but drunked parties and people talking crap). Nothing to do with system development.

You keep talking shit, doing nothing in your life to contribute to the community, and leave the work to people that really care about it, and have the knowledge and leadership to lead the path, like Theo.
