The myths about BSD are getting worse by the day.
BSD becomes less free as time goes by - witness your earlier post:

The fairly innocuous looking statements like
'#2 - Linux and BSD don't limit your platform choices.'
is wrong. It should read:
#2 - Linux don't limit your platform choices, however BSD may limit.

they can pick up new ones in a matter of weeks.
