May I reiterate that it's BSDs' problem an not anyone else's, deterring people off development and not providing incentive to cooperate?

I bet someone of that crowd whined in Ladislav's inbox to make his banner on distrowatch.com include "BSD" which is totally irrelevant there IMHO.

And I've personally taken enough whining instead of people doing something real to promote their favours to have this approach to that crowd, sorry.

Niche software doesn't deserve broad attention. Especially when providing nothing new to this world.

What a parochial point of view. You realise the same `reasoning' could be applied by Windows people to Linux and the MacOS?

Everything deserves attention, if just to find good ideas in it and reuse them elsewhere.
