| OpenBSD und Linux: Kritik an Stillhalteabkommen für Treiberentwicklung</a>, heise online, February 2, 2007 | |||
| </strong></font><br> | |||
| Short article about OpenBSD's clear statement against device driver | |||
| development under non-disclosure agreement (NDA). | |||
| It attempts to summarize the reaction of the OpenBSD community against the | |||
| <a href="http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/free_drivers.html">"Free Linux Driver Development"</a> | |||
| under NDA offered by the linux developer Greg Kroah-Hartman which previously raised some | |||
| discussion. | |||
| Code written under NDA will make it difficult to improve it in the future | |||
| because somebody signed an agreement to keep the required hardware | |||
| documentation secret. For the OpenBSD project | |||
| <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/goals.html">NDAs are never acceptable</a>. | |||
