Handling money etc has its costs, and for sure, apart from the significant investment in time and manpower of many developers, WC has the enormous merit of giving infrastructure support to the project, in the form of equipment, network access, advertisment, probably salaries to some people, etc. I do hope they (WC) get some good revenue from FreeBSD, so that the project can be seen as a profitable investment and get more resources. I am not even a customer, but very satisfied! cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
