>>> Before anyone says "but OpenBSD broke an embargo before", this is a different project and besides having BSD in the name don't see why they were excluded.

AFAIK they all share the same brand name BSD and they are all closely affiliated.

This is a gross falsehood.

They all variously diverged from a parent project, called BSD, in the 90s. Since then they are wholly independent. Because of the common license and heritage, code sharing is often easy and legally unrestricted. But their leaders, policies, and philosophies are very distinct.

But if one BSD get the memo, the other ones will too right ? That's the point.
No, that is also a total fabrication. Please stop making things up.

FreeBSD secteam does not leak NDAed or embargoed information to other BSDs.

That's like saying all GPL software are closely afficliated.
