Well said!
Keep the big picture in mind folks.. The objective here is to get
FreeBSD into as many people's hands as practical.
Hell, if Microsoft phoned up tomorrow asking whether they could sell a
pre-packaged FreeBSD CD-ROM kit, I'd roll some masters personally and fly
them overnight to make sure that nothing went wrong!
And if some organization is funding developers to work on FreeBSD full
time, then I personally would go out of my way to help them too, should
they need something. (several spring to mind)
All this hot air about "protecting" the .iso's is the *least* of our
worries. The bigger issue is getting them "out there", not restricting
them. The more the better.
Can we go and get a life now please?
Cheers,
-Peter
