“Tucows has an open letter to the BSD community at its BSD
website. Basically, it says that Tucows accepts the overall failure
of their BSD Channel and will no longer host their BSD resource on
the web.”

“Apparently, a power struggle between the BSD factions caused a
“barrage of angry user comments.” Tucows believes that the

accommodate mainstream BSD has alienated various BSD sub-groups.’ I
personally believe that they aliented their users themselves.”
