Some of us on this list remember the original BDSi
fight, the 386BSD
to FreeBSD, then NetBSD and OpenBSD (I was friends with both sides of
many of these wars).
Irrelevant to the topic, I know, but I'd just like to point out, since
you call these things "wars", that NetBSD grew out of 386bsd in a quiet,
friendly fashion, and then FreeBSD out of NetBSD just as quietly. (BSDi
growing out of 386bsd was a completely separate affair that I know very
little about, and the OpenBSD fork from NetBSD was mostly just a
personal animosity thing, Theo de Raadt having made enemies in both the
NetBSD and FreeBSD camps -- but it has left no bad blood behind it.)
In other words, no wars that I know of.
That being said, I sincerely wish you all the best working out a
solution that can allow the amazingly good simh project to continue!
