Obviously, I only think that it would be dishonest if FreeBSD CD packing didn't fund FreeBSD development or at least development of a similar project. That was also what I was talking about when I mentioned $40-50 CD sets of Linux and FreeBSD sold at corner shops which only fund the CD packer. I keep my subscription since 1995, even though it's not ecological. You seem to confirm my belief that the money I pay for my subscription goes to FreeBSD development. I'm relieved. I didn't know FreeBSD development was killed. Miguel
