What’s the point of it?
OpenBSD = Security
FreeBSD = The main UNIX-like
NetBSD = ???
Based on the name of have assumed it’s be used in things like network appliances but in 20 years I’ve never seen a single device use it.

It is actually correctless. OpenBSD = Correctness + Simple + Free (free from copyleft too)
Citation???
maximum portability??
But up to NetBSD 10 (at the time writing it was not released) YOU DON’T HAVE SSL CERTIFICATES INSTALLED IN THE BASE SYSTEM !
That’s my warning :)
I dont get that “no copyleft” of OpenBSD. Like, anything they do will just be used by Apple, Sony etc. and they dont give shit back
OpenBSD try to remove GPL licensed software from base. (with free alternative)
This is what the OpenBSD team want, and also appreciated by other BSD developers.
I have no idea why they would do that to themselves. You develop free software without any protection again abuse?
SEE THEIR POLICY, don’t complain with me

They distribute a Free operating system
Thanks for the info. A very controversial topic.
It is controversial for outsider
bringing it to developers is a way to waste their time

Agreed.
I appreciate that they are blobfree but “no copyleft” has nothing to do with that. Actually, I think Copyleft Linux could not include blobs?
Blobs that are redistributable is still included. The 0x things are redistributable under BSD 3 clause license, with an additional clause prohibiting reverse engineering
Which is much free than the gpl
What??
