Quick quote from the interview: "This is the first release to support newer wireless chipsets, especially for 802.11g, thanks to a big activism campaign lead by project leader Theo de Raadt. It's now possible to create a portable access point with a tiny PDA using the Zaurus port, too. As usual, there are a lot of other big and small changes, such as the import of Xorg, the jump towards gcc3, and a feature to update your installed packages automagically. Discover the details behind the scenes in this interview that Federico Biancuzzi had with several OpenBSD developers."

Henning Brauer: Nobody ever gave us anything back. A plethora of vendors ship OpenSSH--commercial Unix vendors (basically all of them), all of the Linux distributors, and lots of hardware vendors (like HP in their switches)--but none of them seem to care; none of them ever gave us anything back. All of them should very well know that quality software doesn't "just happen," but needs some funding. Yet, they don't help at all.
I never knew this... Makes me sick to be honest - that no one has given any support back, donations, etc. but yet they take, take and take more but just don't give back - especially the "Linux distributors"... Pfft, now that's spit in the face to the whole OSS community as a whole. What a shame! And to think how many trolls on ./ (the dumbass ones) rant how much they prefer Linux over *BSD or GPL vs BSDL for whatever stupid and childish reasons; yet they happily use OpenSSH... And I won't even start on my thoughts of Linus when Theo was fighting with Intel, Cisco and other wireless companies...
Just my $0.02 - just wish I could give more back, as an individual than I can currently afford.
