It is written in Openbsd Lyrics:
"David Dawes worked for years with a team of developers to make a free
X11 distribution for us to use, called XFree86, 98% of which was based on
entirely free code from MIT. Suddenly, one day, he decided that we must give
him more credit (ie. advertise his name) or stop using it. Within about 4
months every project had told him to get stuffed, and the community has
created a replacement effort. Now his team cannot even keep their web pages
up to date...
OpenBSD was the first operating system to integrate a packet filter, and
it was the ipf codebase from Darren Reed that we chose. But a few years
later he told us that we were not free to make changes to the code. So we
deleted ipf, and our new packet filter far exceeds the capabilities of the
one he wrote. And other projects are switching too...
The Apache group started from the humble beginnings of just being 'a
patchy' set of changes to a completely free web server of dubious quality.
But the years have changed them, and what they supply is now quite
non-free... released under a license so entangled in legalese that we have
absolutely no doubt that there are encumbrances hidden within. Legal terms
protect. Who are they protecting? Not your freedom. "

What are all the others groups who have made Free-to-Non-Free transition?
Because groups have made Free-to-Non-Free transition?
What are all the groups who are all free?
What are the operating systems that ship without blobs?
What are the groups that ship without NDA?
What are the others groups that ship without the other project non-free?
I want programme and use only software and hardware that are all free in
hobby, no blobs, no NDA...
