I like OpenBSD. I like the spirit of the developers, which don't compromise on security. I like the simplicity of the OS, very good documented and very robust.
They are prepared to break a ton of software to advance the state of security/correct code.<p>I would like to have OpenBSD on all my machines, but unfortunately their license don't have the "infectious" effect of GPL. From my limited understanding, their license[0] is not a philosophical license like GPL. Linux popularity spread because of the distributed development style(everyone developed in their own tree, Linus decided if it had enough value to get in his tree) and GPL.<p>Even if you don't care on the philosophy of GPL, you can't deny that it helped make a lot of vendors to publish(even if half-hearted) their code which eventually after some cleanup(3rd party or themselves) got into the Linus tree.<p>If OpenBSD would be GPL licensed, I could see a BSD which would be have all the bleeding edge features, but Theo's tree was separate, conservative on features but not lacking on drivers. Men can only dream.<p>I realize that FreeBSD is the bleeding edge of BSD land and I'm not trying to start a license flamewar, but a lot of companies, i.e. graphics, wireless cards, laptop manufactures don't have (good) working drivers for BSD land, at least not published code which goes back to the community.<p>[0] - <a href="http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/share/misc/license.template?rev=HEAD" rel="nofollow">http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/share/misc/lice...</a>
