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).
