Microsoft Funds OpenBSD

Yaay!

The Microsoft corporation has become OpenBSD’s first “Gold Level” sponsor after a large donation. (Facebook and Google are both silver contributors). The move is likely related to Microsoft’s use of OpenSSH in future versions of Powershell. Meanwhile at the FreeBSD site companies LineRate, NetApp, Google, Hudson River Trading, and Netflix dominate the top sponsors. Noticeably absent was the Apple Computer Corporation who base their OSX and IOS systems off of the free software BSD systems. More info about OpenBSD’s 2015 fundraising campaign here.
