Do you remember why that happened in the first place?pkubaj said:I believe OpenBSD could merge with NetBSD.

after all, OpenBSD was forked from NetBSD.
Anthie said:OpenBSD cannot even pay the bills of electric power.
It's merging the code, not the development teams. Merging the teams back together would be very "interesting".fonz said:Do you remember why that happened in the first place?pkubaj said:I believe OpenBSD could merge with NetBSD.

Not going to happen. Remember that OpenBSD took five years to audit their code. It's not very likely they're going to merge the code and spend another five years auditing the result.Crivens said:It's merging the code, not the development teams.
Crivens said:And it's sad to see that such an effort like OpenBSD would curl up because of the bills.
SirDice said:I would suggest reading up on the reasons why they forked in the first place.

So do I. While I don't currently use it I have used it in the past(*) and I quite like their approach.hitest said:I do care if OpenBSD goes the way of the dodo.

Pushrod said:I've never met Mr. De Raadt, nor have I so much as exchanged an email, but if we take his reputation to be true, then maybe the end of the project will teach him that getting along with people has some value. They need a friend, a friend that will help out with this problem, but it seems that they don't have any.
For what it's worth, I've gotten the impression that Theo is actually more pleasant to deal with than Linus Torvalds. Yet Linus' attitude doesn't appear to hinder the development of Linux.Pushrod said:if we take his reputation to be true, then maybe the end of the project will teach him that getting along with people has some value.
