At no point in this entire thread has anyone berated any other software. the only berating was by Murgesh.
BSD predated the GPL and has made important contributions to the FOSS ecosystems like vi and the C shell. Also it is not an academic curiosity. BSD is widely used and supported by a lot of organisation. In fact some of the ideas for the "GNU system" have come from the BSD world.
It has. So put in a few lines and links about BSD in the wiki rather than ranting about it.
