I think that he does not need to bother about this at all.
Maybe except of good laugh on such attempts?


Some distro nearly obsolete even in GNU/Linux world will suddenly
become success after "stealing" from BSD and creating Frankenstein

I say it for some time......whole Linux community is heading more and

quickly towards their own BSDi vs USL case. Just they don't get it
yet......
