Subject: RE: [ISN] DARPA pulls OpenBSD funding

isn`t this thread all theo wanted? huge amount of publicity for free?

AFAIK this grant was for university of pensylvania, which gave part of 
this grant for openbsd development.

DARPA DOES NOT pulls OpenBSD funding, no kind of direct contract exist 
between openbsd and darpa.

there were couple of other grants stopped by DARPA.

isn`t theo - the openbsd leader - fighting for free speech, while 
publishing only half-truths and lies?
