I VERY strongly disagree! Just because Greg fails some random ideological
test of yours is no reason to discount him. Greg Lehey has great things for
FreeBSD over the past 7 or 8 years. To be perfectly frank, he has done a
hell of a lot more for FreeBSD than you, Brett. 

Get a grip, Brett, the number of people who care about this whole
ideological crusade against GPL that you are on can be counted on one
hand. Brett, no one cares. Give it a rest!
