A lot of the discussion so far revolves around whether or not Theo can be abrasive. Who cares?
I would rather have a non compromising, highly secure operating system available, with all the source code
available for me to see (none of that binary blob business)
than a mediocre operating system that was somewhat secure
from a guy who was really chill.
Funding the OpenBSD project is not a decision about the personality of Theo, its a decision on the usefulness and
and the quality of work that the OpenBSD community creates.
When I am setting up and configuring and relying on a
server with OpenBSD, I could care less if Theo is eccentric
or not. I am in awe of the technical brilliance of OpenBSD.
And yes I have donated and do donate to the project, and
I encourage clients I have that are running on OpenBSD to
do the same.
