Open Vs Free BSD

[Michal]

It wasn't an argument or a versus anything. It was just a question relating
to what he had said and the truth in it and the two OS's being used for
different reasons. That's all. No rage, no debate or looking for any winner!

Oh why can't this versus this versus that never dies? There had been
raging debate about which OSes is much better compared to the others since
time immemorial. Sure, each one has its own merits over the others and
vice versa. So why feeding this issue up since up to this very moment,
there is no winner.
