Compatibility layers are cheaper if you are a company with thousands of programmers.
- musicale 5y agoCompatibility layers (or any development activities) are cheaper (for you) if you don't pay your developers.
- bch 5y agoI apologize if “if you don’t pay NetBSD developers compatibility is cheap(er)” isn’t what you meant; perhaps I misinterpreted. NetBSD development is not cheap - it’s accomplishments are hard fought design and implementation wins largely performed by talented volunteers. To me “cheap” in this context implies a certain ease, which I don’t think is a fair characterization of what happens with the project. Then again, maybe I’m just being hypersensitive about respect for the project.
