OpenBSD funding yanked

2003-04-24 02:52:01.674476+02 by Shawn 0 comments

So this is old news now, but the recent report of DARPA cancelling funding for OpenBSD has me wondering. How will this affect other Open- projects? How closely linked is, say, OpenSSH to OpenBSD? I don't expect them to die overnight if OpenBSD stalls in its development, but how well will they be able to shift focus if their core platform starts falling behind? Or will they want to do something else to keep OpenBSD afloat?
