Can someone in the FreeBSD community please talk with this guy. If
you're going to send a snotty email at least be brave enough to do it
publicly..
fwiw.. I never said free anywhere in my email.. It's assumed testing
has a reciprocal benefit assuming we fix bugs. I've spoken with 5-10
people in the BSD community and most are supportive of our idea.. They
of course wanted the BSD license from the start, but to me this is a
conservative approach which I saw as a win/win.. So honestly am I on crack?
