Brett has used his real main talents in the development of BSD code more than enough to deserve our tolerance in his choice of -chat topics. It's not nice to bite the hand that fed you. Those who have tired of him can easily ignore him. I happen to think it's good that he occasionally tries to encourage others to keep FreeBSD from becoming just another kernel for a GNU system, soon to be playing catch-up instead of filling a different, more commercially friendly niche. He might even influence a few people, especially those new to BSD-land and enamored of the non-copyleft concept.
