标题: openbsd新分支----AerieBSD
What is ÆrieBSD?
We are a group of individuals who like to hack operating systems. We are not driven by any kind of corporate agenda or market sales and thus can produce the best software ever, properly written. There is not any business or corporate backing (or even sponsourship) for the project. We even pay for it with our ice cream change! Since our time and resources are limited we use lots of software developed by other peoples and projects. Here is what our goals are (not necessarily in the order of priority):
First of all hacking shall be fun and thus we resent any sort of political gaming and ego worshipping inside the project. If you want to be famous and naked -- here be a wrong place for you.
Henceforth developers are the only real value that we have and this is who the project is for.
Be open to the community and provide transparency of how the project works.
Provide free and functional best possible development environment. This includes free access to all source code, free development tools (compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, text formatting tools, etc), various libraries and documentation.
Support various hardware platforms (see Hardware page).
Implement common standards.
Pay attention to security and correctness.
Provide a stable release cycle, although right now we are working on our first release (;
To keep the code free we prefer code licensed with ISC or 2- or 3-clause Berkeley style licenses. GPL is not really acceptable in the tree as through the years it has proven to be alot of trouble and counter-progressive.

ob本来就是一个小项目，

还弄出一个分支来。

这项目从介绍看，看不出任何的特色。

估计是开发团队有意见分歧

有详细介绍吗？

本来就小，还分歧，OBSD估计要消失了

标题: OpenBSD Developers Work on AerieBSD
原文地址：http://www.linux-magazine.com/On ... rs-Work-on-AerieBSD


Aug 26, 2009 A group of OpenBSD developers have joined in the AerieBSD project. A new distro is being prepared whose likeness to OpenBSD is unmistakable.


The AerieBSD project page with its minimal mission statement and mailing lists is entrusted to (former) OpenBSD developer Michael Shalayeff. The team describes itself as "a group of individuals who like to hack operating systems." There is no business or corporate backing, nor are there sponsorships.
Its goals show a clear proximity to OpenBSD, starting with broad hardware support, regular release cycles, an attention to security, code correctness and adherence to standards – all of this under the leadership of Theo de Raadt. Licensing likewise has a BSD flavor. The fruits of their labor will come under BSD or ISC licenses; they consider GPL to be "counter-progressive," having proved to be "troublesome" over the years. OpenBSD project lead de Raadt has repeatedly openly criticized Linux developers and GPL. The OpenBSD songs and advertisements with "Puffy" the pufferfish are prime examples of their opposition to GPL.
Next to promoting free software and transparency, ÆrieBSD has one goal that could hint towards a conflict with de Raadt: "First of all hacking shall be fun and thus we resent any sort of political gaming and ego worshipping inside the project. If you want to be famous and naked – here be a wrong place for you."
The team is currently working on its first release with a time frame not yet announced.

No technical reasons to fork, just political.

There are no technical reasons to fork. Seems like insider politics. But everyone has right to do so. Let us see how far this one goes. Maybe they will produce better/more code now that they like the environment in which they work. It is still BSD licensed, so no worries.

OpenBSD vs AerieBSD

If there's such a likeness, what is the reason for forking then?

To fork you need to have some clear goals that differentiate you from the project you're forking from. Theo de Raadt started with OpenBSD to focus on security, Matt Dillon started DragonFlyBSD to concentrate on clusters etc.

Neither from this article, nor from the AerieBSD website I can find how this project is going to be different from OpenBSD.
