    I'm fed up with this rumor of all this coming from the lack of people
    skills from Theo. This is not a people skill issue. This is a licence
    issue. What Theo did basically, was use plain terms: `Mr. Reed, if you
    don't change your licence, IPF is going to get pulled from OpenBSD src.'
    This is not a threat, it's a fact. And the reason is that ipf current
    licence does not mesh with OpenBSD goals.

    So Reed didn't budge (bad PR skills). So IPF got pulled.

    As an OpenBSD developer, I back Theo 100% on this case. Not because
    he's also OpenBSD or because I like him.

    No.

    Because he did the right thing.

    And it's not a people skill issue.
    And I'm pretty sure lots of other developers feel the way I do.
