You have so completely missed the point it is to laugh.

Remember OBSD isn't GPL'ed
There's no need to continue this on the list because you don't get the
analogy so I'm replying directly.
I didn't say that OBSD is GPL'ed, did I? I said that selling software
that's available at no cost (GPL software someone has bought and
re-released to the public) is no different than selling software that's
available at no cost (an OpenBSD CD versus the .iso format available to
the public).
In both cases you are taking software that is freely (cost) available
and selling it via some physical medium.
I even stated that it was just something that I had picked up as an
implication and that for those of us that interpreted your statement in
that fashion, the analogy made sense. How is that bs?
I've no qualms being someone's laughing stock because they fail to
understand something so feel free to laugh away. My regret is that I
failed to sufficiently explain the analogy, and why at least a few of us
felt it was appropriate, in a manner you could understand the first time.
If you still do not understand the analogy, and why I agree with Daniel
that it was an appropriate one, please feel free to email me directly
and we can discuss it. There's no point in continuing to butt heads on
the list.
