1. using openbsd's name in this context (especially the "take donations" bit when you have no connection to it) seems potentially fraudulent. contacting companies pretending to have some connection is likely to cause problems for us too. 2. some "OpenBSD just works" type thing for hardware implies some kind of guarantee of compatibility which just doesn't exist there are various people who advertise support/consultancy for OpenBSD etc and that's not a problem, but they're not (as far as i've seen) implying some kind of connection which doesn't exist. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
