I wrote the last one. And yes, it`s slovenian. Since Google fails at
translation, here`s my translation:

"DTrace, ZFS, večja stabilnost/zrelost, pristnejši odnos z OpenBSD-jem
itd. Zakaj smo že na Linuxih in ne na FBSD-ju? A je FBSD res samo za
ISP-je?"
DTrace, ZFS, more reliability/maturity, open relationship with OpenBSD
etc. Why are we again on Linux and not FBSD? Is FBSD really just for
internet service providers?

"Zgleda, da vsaj z licencami ne zgubljajo časa, kot se to na veliko
dogaja v Linux projektih (dober primer tega je zadnji fork GMP-ja -
MPIR), kjer že skor vsak malo večji projekt rabi odvetnika, da jim
svetuje glede licence..."
At least it seems they`re not wasting time with licensing problems, as
it is the case in Linux projects (a good example of that statement is
the GMP fork - MPIR), where every more serious project needs a lawyer,
so he/she can advise them about licencing issues.

So my point was that since I have some experience developing some FOSS
stuff for a company I remember going through all that licencing stuff
(and there is planty to read!) and it takes a lot of time that could
be spend for actual developement of a product. As it turned out,
everybody I meet has a different opinion on this matter so.. sage has
a flaming list sage-flame where different licences are being crushed
so there`s already some discussion on this toppic. So.. that`s
that. :)
