If that was their reasoning, perhaps they should have made it public.
Ahh, Mr. Big (Mouth) is making himself spokesman for FreeBSD?
Also, i'd be more inclined to believe your argument if the chronology
were what you claimed. Jordan's note was posted to .announce at:
13 Nov 1993 22:31:38 -0800. CVS access on lamp for FreeBSD developers
not working on the NetBSD source tree at 22:40 (-0800, 13 November).
How do i know? well, i'm looking at the ctime of a file that i chmodded
when their access went away. You can't call it a response if it happens
before what it's responding to. "cause and effect; logic 101."
Note that people working on FreeBSD who *are* working on NetBSD
did not have their access to NetBSD's CVS tree denied. Only those
who are doing no work on NetBSD cannot access our CVS tree.
Therefore, you can't claim that we're kicking people out of our
tree because they work with (or even mostly with) FreeBSD; that's
just not true. If they're not working on NetBSD, then they don't
have access; plain and simple.
