License is one of the reasons. OpenBSD uses the BSD license, and has a strong preference for it when it comes to the base system, base tools, etc. There's no chance they'll move something so critical to GPL-licensed software.
- clarry 12y ago$ uname OpenBSD $ cvs -v Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server) Copyright (c) 1989-2001 Brian Berliner, david d `zoo' zuhn, Jeff Polk, and other authors CVS may be copied only under the terms of the GNU General Public License, a copy of which can be found with the CVS distribution kit. Specify the --help option for further information about CVS Unfortunately CVS isn't the only GPL-licensed piece of software in OpenBSD. But slowly, one by one, these things seem to get replaced with free and better alternatives. I can imagine a future in which we're free of GPL tentacles.
