That is complete balony and you know it. The question came down to who would sign the google paperwork "for OpenBSD". The Project cannot. The Foundation cannot, either. In the end noone could accept it. The personal liability was too great. Unlike other projects out there, OpenBSD is not a company able to assume risk and ignore the consequences. Google didn't decide against allowing OpenBSD to join their program. They tried to trap us with legalize, and we didn't take the bait of assuming that their legalize is just meaningless words. The rest of what you are saying is wordy mumbo jumbo. You should become a lawyer. You've got some of the skills already.
