What’s the point of it?

OpenBSD = Security

FreeBSD = The main UNIX-like

NetBSD = ???

Based on the name of have assumed it’s be used in things like network appliances but in 20 years I’ve never seen a single device use it.

    I think you shouldn’t argue on why bsd use the bsd license because no one would care, and I will stop here

    We should focus on learning and programming, just like Vietnamese these day should be good on Marxism-Leninism that’s taught in the university/college to have the right mindset and should’t care about anarchism, liberalism, etc and focus on whatever science to help the country.

    What does that mean? You can redistribute binary code that is not Open source, and you are also not allowed to find the source code? How is that free?

    You can redistribute binary code that is not Open source under a free license

    there isn’t a problem making OpenBSD nonfree in their opinion, the only problem is they cannot fix the binary code if it have bugs and “can’t confirm if the blob contain malware”

    Blobs are not even FOSS, so they can only be implemented as Linux is not FOSS.

    FOSS???

    This is source code.

    They can exist side by side with linux (like you install gcc and openssh on your linux). I saw microcode are packaged, not installed by default (about arch linux)

    If they are linked against linux they must be gpl

    Can you read the gpl or that’s just long and right and everyone must use it to support GNU

    using a license that promote giving code back (put restriction on redistribution) for coreutils, gcc, libc, etc… has borned Chimera Linux (which point out the quality problem of GNU (in code!) by using BSD userland and LLVM and musl)
