Um, I remember this very differently. The early split between NetBSD and FreeBSD was a friendly disagreement over whether to continue to be cross-platform (NetBSD) or go for maximum performance on x86 (FreeBSD). The only event that fits your description is OpenBSD, which got forked off because Theo de Raadt's abrasive personality managed to get him kicked out of the NetBSD core team, and banned from both NetBSD and FreeBSD mailing list. -tih -- Most people who graduate with CS degrees don't understand the significance of Lisp.
