HN comment orderOpenBSD foundation raised around ~380 thousand IIRC. By creating OpenSSH and the fact all fortune 500 companies use it, I would say every year, the foundation should be bringing in around 1 or 2 million. It is time these companies really give back. And while I am here, hardware vendors should open up their source, looking directly an Nvidia.
Even if you're not an OpenBSD user, it's always good to see just what sort of innovations they (and the other BSDs) are regularly coming up with to solve all sorts of operating system problems, audit code, and improve security and performance.
