I don't really care about that, seems like 4Chan level bickering at that point. I care more about the poor code pushed out.
Me too.
That said, lots of fun memories hanging around some skilled FreeBSD programmers in San Francisco years ago, with me busting their chops.
Their biggest complaint? Any cool driver fixes for "pc platform" USB , Audio, Network Cards, etc was lifted, duped , forked to OpenBSD , etc, then rapidly "stolen" AND COPY-LEFTED with GPL and shoved into Linux with new restrictive headers rubber stamped on all files... and crippled by GPL.
They REALLY really believe in totally free software and puke at hypocritical GPL2 GPL3 etc.
