Dear colleagues,

About 20 years ago I read in some OpenBSD documentation, likely the
installation instructions, that we want people to copy our OpenBSD even
if to use it even in proprietary products, because the alternative is
that incompetent people write their own software instead of copying and
then the users suffer. I found this particular passage to be very well
written. Does someone know where I might find this wonderful passage?

With great honor,

Ibsen


Dang, that sounds familiar.  I think I found it:

I definitely say something similar regularly, but it looks like the
original text here was from Theo, himself.  I've been similarly
inspired and found the example memorable. :)

Nick.
