Oh, jesus. They got $20,000-50,000. Such sellouts, right?

Have you looked at Linux's sponsor list and budget lately? Good thing they GPL'd it - otherwise it might have ended up powering an intentionally obfuscated and user-restricting codebase like Android...

OpenBSD gets less money per unit societal value than any other software project I'm aware of.

Sellouts? I said no such thing nor even implied it. I am genuinely thrilled that MS contributed so much to OpenBSD and will use it as a standard in Windows. I applaud them for stepping up and contributing. Microsoft is not my favorite company but I have no problem acknowledging and appreciating it when they do something right.

I agree that people should contribute more to OpenBSD or their side projects like OpenSSH. I give very little by purchasing OpenBSD gear so I am grateful when a company steps up and contributes.
