    So I suppose the 10-12,000 DNS queries that get answered every second
    by a.root-servers.net or the ~5,000/second that f.root-servers.net
    answers are handled by something that isn't solid. Or the overwhelming
    number of DNS lookups on the internet go to something that isn't
    solid. I see. You have a rather strange perception of solid.

    This nonsense is so ridiculous that it must be corrected immediately.
    BIND9.1 is not any of these things. Go to ftp.isc.org and pick up the
    source code (blatant hint #1) and read the copyright (blatant hint #2).
    After you've done that, kindly retract the above remarks publicly.

    BIND is and always will be open-source and freely available. The ISC
    could not be legally constituted as a not-for-profit institution if
    that wasn't the case.
