O FreeBSD 5.0, cujo lan�amento estava marcado para 1 de novembro de 2001,
foi adiado para a mesma data ... em 2002. Vejam (extra�do de
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=34983+0+current/freebsd-announc
e ):
"As most of you know, 5.0-RELEASE was originally scheduled for November
2001, it being our intention to release 5.0 before the end of 2001
without also colliding with the Christmas / New Years holidays.
Unfortunately, a lot of the features on the TODO list for 5.0, such as
SMPng (next-generation symmetric multi-processing), KSE (kernel
scheduler entities) or support for a new architectures like the
PowerPC, SPARC64 or IA64 (Itanium) are nowhere close to being
complete. Without these features, there's just not a lot of reason
for 5.0 to exist in non-snapshot form and it's therefore been decided
that rather than release 5.0 prematurely, we're going to give
ourselves the time we need to finish it properly.
It should also be noted that a lot of the resources which were
expected to be available to do this work have either not materialized
as expected or have dropped off the face of the earth. There were 15
people (not counting Apple's participating engineers) involved at the
SMPng kick-off, for example, yet not a single one of them has been
actively involved with the project for the last 6 months, all such
work falling to a single engineer (John Baldwin) who was not even
present at the first planning meeting."
Isso prova que a licen�a BSD est� sendo ofuscada pela aten��o das grandes
empresas (como a IBM e HP) em torno do linux. O FreeBSD � tecnicamente um
bom sistema operacional, mas a sua licen�a � permissiva demais e deixa que
as empresas suguem seu c�digo sem dar nada em troca ... Por isso a M$ gosta
tanto do FreeBSD que at� mandou a Corel portar o seu .Net para esta
plataforma ...
