There is too much politics in 386bsd. It is very interesting to see the FSF,
GNU and Linux love to borrow the best from 386bsd and other free softwares.
From what I have seen, it seems only FSF, GNU, Linux can bring out a better
complete free operating system.

No flames please. I'd love to see 386bsd start using the GNU copylefted
stuff.
