OpenBSD in Financial Trouble</a>, Ping Wales, March 21, 2006 |
|
</strong></font><br> |
|
David Chisnall reports that "OpenBSD is one of my favourite platforms; |
|
its focus on security and ease-of-use makes it a very simple and |
|
safe system to use. Unfortunately, the OpenBSD organisation is now |
|
experiencing financial difficulty. For the last two years, the |
|
project has made a $20,000/year loss, something which it cannot |
|
sustain indefinitely." |
|
Goes on to report on the growing use of OpenBSD in commercial software |
|
(and hardware!), and that none of the "big guys" has given anything back. |

Unlike most of the articles on this topic, this one is kind enough to |
