Frantisek, With respect, and at the same none at all due to what you say; I know very little about you except what I see historically. This mailing list contains hundreds of people. You have been around for a long time. You know the general agenda which is 20+ years old. Yet here you broadcast just your own, acting like it has any acceptance at all; furthermore you seem to expect validation of your own agenda without consideration of the fact that it is not at all like our general agenda; in fact, you do not put any limiters to indicate so. Therefore: You are welcome to provide the same revenue, and I will personally argue that the OpenBSD Foundation should return what Microsoft gave them; my understanding being that it was without any strings. So pony up all the cash, to match the efforts by hundreds over two decades, and I will gladly validate your opinions as having some value greater than negative to the greater community. Luckily, saying that to you is just a prank. My historical analysis indicates you are just a tiny/tinny loudmouth, who "accidentally" hurts the people who have spent over two decades building good software. You have some hateful agenda entirely unlike our own (by own, I consider the rough consensus of 500+ openbsd developers over two decades). Your comments are entirely disassociated with the general project guidelines of writing software which anyone can use, to advance the state of the art, without restriction. To keep it simple: Where are you coming from, Mr. Do-Nothing? As a group (with me and others as the proxy) we do ask for companies to help fund us from time to time, and this benefits everyone as a result of the common advancements. As for output, there is no discrimination as to their cause, because that is not our oversight/job. The general guidelines for access to software is CLEAR in the licence. Yet you clearly state that we should have some restrictive agenda, Mr. Do-Nothing-Except-State-Position. In essence, you are a loudmouth and a leech. I've been working on this community for two decades. It is my right to call you out for your destructive words. Few are in the position where they can say your words cause harm. Few have as much insight. You have zero insight. You only harbour a general hate and want to change our direction. You have no skin in the game. When the BBQ gets lit up, you are the just a sparrow flitting away down the alley in search of a place to hide. I'm looking at your record of postings in various forums. You add ZERO value. You have spent almost a decade demanding we do more, more, MORE, DO FUCKING FOR ME MORE DEVELOPERS, yet I've never seen your name show up elsewhere of consequence to actually solve the costs behind advancing the state of the art of free options. Yet you feel qualified to tell us this pattern is wrong. Unfortunately, it is a sad world filled with Holops who have done VERY LITTLE, and then deride funding opportunities, very late in the game; for what many of have simply done sans funding for decades. The problem here is simple. Holop has an specific agenda that is not generally held! For everyone following allong, please find the original IPF removal commit message for guidance. The standard is to advance the industry. In general, we don't care about people who whine and try to apply their agenda towards us, but in your case I must make an exception. I think it is high time people like you FIND A MIRROR. You are the specific cause of the situation you so deride. Frantisek, you have absolutely no right to speak like you do. You are a pure-form leech, and leeches should not preach. Please leave our userbase instantly; I am afraid someone in this community might accidentally make a mistake of fixing a bug you care about (and you made it clear you care about nothing else except your own leechy agenda). Frantisek, it would be easier if you just went away. I hate writing these mails, editing them, and creating a disaster. Perhaps you should stop pissing off people who try hard by stabbing yourself with a knife, repeatedly. I don't know if that would work. Maybe you will return as a zombie and say the same things again.
