I read through some of this thread last night and was about to throw them a few bucks. I don't really consider myself an OpenBSD user although I do have a router here that runs it for pf. Other than that, I haven't touched it in probably a decade.
I'm glad I read through the whole thread because by the time I got to the end of it I had changed my mind. In one e-mail to the list, Theo basically said (in effect) that a donation of $20 wasn't even worth it. (Granted, $20 isn't much in the grand scheme of things but I feel that it reasonable covers my use of OpenBSD.)
There are many people who think that Theo is the worst thing for the Project (because he's such an asshole). OTOH, however, there are many who think that the Project wouldn't exist if it weren't for Theo.
- wila 13y agoHis $20 reply is an answer to the "why don't you sell more merchandise" question. Where he tries to explain that the merchandise model has a lot of hidden costs. As you read the whole thread, I suppose you've also seen this quote? Nicolai, and others, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all of those stepping up to the call for contributions. Every little bit helps. See: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=138974990608900&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=138974990608900&w=2 Anyways, talk is cheap. Donate helps which as a lot of others here I just did. Thanks Theo!
