Re: [9fans] Plan 9 Usenix BOF, 12 June 2003

I apologise for the duplicated mail due to the alias 9fans@collyer.net
that got into mail headers (rather than being expanded); it's now
gone.

I hadn't intended to start a war; this is what I wrote:

	``It might be worth pointing the OpenBSD folks at this licence if
	they are serious about using the Plan 9 C compilers.''

That was just my thought in my personal notes and does not represent
anybody else's thoughts.  That quote is based on some interest
expressed by the OpenBSD folks a few months back (more or less)
suggesting that they might use the Plan 9 compilers if the licence
were more liberal (my interpretation).  It appeared that the new
licence was more liberal, given that the OSI had blessed much of it.

That's all.  Nobody's mortgage was threatened and no one was
threatened with rape.  I don't read the plan-9-licence mailing list,
so I'm undoubtedly out of touch with current licensing theology (no
pun intended).
