More quotes by Theo de Raadt

This is a software monopoly but at least it was written by people who care about security, so it's not like Microsoft's monopoly.

Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft. We do what we do because we love Unix.

Low code quality keeps haunting our entire industry. That, and sloppy programmers who don't understand the frameworks they work within. They're like plumbers high on glue.

But software which OpenBSD uses and redistributes must be free to all (be they people or companies), for any purpose they wish to use it, including modification, use, peeing on, or even integration into baby mulching machines or atomic bombs to be dropped on Australia.

What's so exciting is to be able to just take something and polish it so much that hopefully in the future people will start borrowing things from it.
