You were quite positively *not* a NetBSD core developer when, or immediately before, or IIRC even in the same year that, you "spun off" OpenBSD. I realize that you probably weren't trying to give that impression, but just so's nobody mistakenly acquires it... Huh? Thor, I was making no comments about the timing. However I DID start NetBSD with 3 other people, DID co-run it for a couple years, and I DID make serious contributions. I have no idea why you feel it neccessary to bring up such history. But because you do, and because people might be curious, I will point people at the file http://www.theos.com/~deraadt/coremail That file shows everything that happened (or at least all the information I have on what happened). This is just so that people don't end up with the wrong impression, and so that nobody mistakenly acquires it... -- This space not left unintentionally unblank. deraadt@theos.com www.OpenBSD.org -- We're fixing security problems so you can sleep at night.
