Money trouble at OpenBSD
I read (I think it was on Slashdot) that OpenBSD has no legal strcture and any donations need to be written out to Theo directly. If this is true I can imagine that businesses will have difficulty providing money, they can't write it off as an expense.
I think the article is correct that they need to find a new way to get that's not related to CDs. For example, have some kind of "licence" that people can pay $100 each for. A business can simply buy a pile, write it off as an expense and not have to deal with associated piles of CDs they don't want anyway... The FSF has been doing something similar for years AFAIK.
