Hi guys,
I have been reading a thread on opensolaris.org regarding the
open-sourcing of 4front's OSS. After explaining why CDDL licensing is
unsuitable for OpenBSD, some of the developers have expressed an
interest to contact Theo regarding licensing and OpenBSD.
I do not know much about licensing, nor do I feel that I should email
Theo personally as he may not appreciate it. Just thought I would
point out the thread here.

Is OpenBSD even interested in multi threaded OSS? I wouldn't mind it.
"...After much deliberation - we're going with CDDL for BSD. I don't
know why OpenBSD can't work with CDDL since FreeBSD and NetBSD can."

It appears that the question might be whether anyone over in their
camp is concerned with releasing code under a license even permissive
enough to be included. They don't seem to care that OpenBSD as a
project seems to have more stringent goals and policies than others.
