Good question.=20=20=20
Maybe you should ask them.

Probably few people on this list will know because it is not a Lunix
Email list.   It is a group of FreeBSD users and FreeBSD is an operating
system.  It is a BSD UNIX type of operating system.    Although it
covers=20
some similar territory as Lunix, it is not Lunix nor a flavor of it.=20=20=
=20

So, if you can find a friendly group of Lunix developers, then you=20
can ask them your question.   Probably they will know more.

As for FreeBSD, it does have a foundation - the FreeBSD foundation
and a consortium made up of committers which is lead by a core
group elected every two years.   (something like that, I may be off
on the election cycle details)

On the other hand, you can just stick with FreeBSD and not bother
with the Lunix stuff and you will get along just fine.=20=20=20

LMAO!  Touche!  So, are you saying I shouldn't ask any questions here
about Ubuntu, Suse, RedHat, et al?  Isn't Lunix better than BSD anyway?
