The FreeBSD "camp" writes services (in the form of an Operating System) so that anyone can enjoy them. For free. If a third-party wishes to use FreeBSD, it can, and for any purpose that it sees fit. This is the ideal embodied in the BSD license. 3) If you are really pro-FreeBSD (and not merely anti-everything-else, as your message implies), then you might consider joining the freebsd-advocacy list. Be warned, however, that unless you tone down your language and act with some semblence of intelligence, that you will not get a warm welcome there either. Have a swell day. C.
