It is simple. ComixWall was a *Distribution*.
It directly competes with OpenBSD.
People could obtain ComixWall directly from his web site.
This means *less* CD sales.
CD sales are the main source of income for OpenBSD.
Therefore ComixWall *hurts* OpenBSD.
Theo's hostility is completely understandable.
What do you people not get?
If he wanted to create a GUI frontend for OpenBSD and then
submit it as a port he would have been more than welcome,
but instead he created a way of obtaining OpenBSD that
completely circumvents the official site.
This does *not* help OpenBSD in *any* way.
Again, what do you people not get??
I've been following this thread with great interest, both sides had a
point, but language was ugly.
This makes it all very clear. I thought Theo was right, but this puts
the problem right and clear.
I agree 100% with this.
