The thing is, the BSD source code isn't that much better than the GNU
stuff, especially now. It seems to be growing without bound.
Maybe Theo et al would be more productive if they quit complaining and
actually set to work on some of the things they find so irksome. For
instance, there's a BSD licensed compiler out there, and it's existed
for years; why haven't they switched to it? All the energy they put
into reinventing the square wheel could be put into building new
backends for TenDRA, and getting it to generate correct code for their
build target.
