( i know its a bit counterintuitive that BSD is growing, thriving and dying at the same time)

They do the same end-of-year push each year, and it’s been more successful so far this time around… though you wouldn’t know it from the headline.

I hardly waste a moment there any more.

One would assume the former in which case the spin on the headline is bad…

I think one of the most precarious situations that FreeBSD has found itself embroiled, is having to work with an aging, almost obsolete GCC that was GPL2’d instead of moving to the newer versions which have adopted the GPL version 3…

But that’s all over now, from now on FreeBSD will ship with Clang/LLVM under the BSD license – as it should be ;)
