                     21: <p>The OpenBSD/alpha port was begun in the summer of 1996 by using
                     22: code from the NetBSD/alpha port which was begun by Chris Demetriou
                     23: &lt;cgd@netbsd.org&gt; in 1994.  After the original OpenBSD port, some
                     24: copyright issues prevented OpenBSD from tracking the NetBSD code.
                     25: Regardless, work on the alpha port continued and many fixes were made.
                     26: While we were making fixes, NetBSD continued to make improvements to
                     27: the alpha port which we were unfortunately unable to use.  Over time,
                     28: because of a lack of programmer resources and the inability to use
                     29: NetBSD code, hardware and software support became very outdated.  This
                     30: caused the 2.5 and 2.6 releases of alpha to have few kernel
                     31: enhancements.  As a result of its becoming so stale, alpha was not
1.50    ! nate       32: included in the 2.7 and 2.8 releases.</p>

        !            35: interest in bringing the port up to date.  This coupled with the fact
        !            36: that NetBSD changed the license on its alpha code so that there are no
        !            37: longer copyright issues has lead to an effort to bring the alpha port
        !            38: back up. (For details on why we were not able to keep tracking the
