I could be wrong, but the original question said nothing about "non-profit" the way i read the first question as simply as, why cant OpenBSD(a for-profit entity) do advertising, via a search page for google(a for-profit entity, as far as i know), and get paid for it. Nothing non-profit required, simply an advertising deal between 2 for-profit companies.
This would not require any "inconsistencies" either, as both companies are for-profit. So in much the same way that we pay OpenBSD for CD sets, Google would be paying OpenBSD for searches. Am I wrong somewhere in that? On 1/22/07, Martin SchrC6der <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
