Hrm on Assange's personal blog on the item called 'Sun 18 Jun 2006 : NetBSD foundation Membership Agreement' he mentioned a new legal document everyone in NetBSD had to sign. Did something change in 2006? Mac OSX/Intel took off as an OS.

The link for this thread states it may have happened in 2000-2001 around the time of the terror frenzy which is possible. But BSD has gotten more corporate, and with that backdoors usually such as NSA/Windows in the late 90's (http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/5/5263/1.html).

What's the interest in spying such connections? We all know what is going to be the content in all those mirrors.

If this was actually in response to my psyops comment, I didn't reference spying, I referenced psychological operations. It was just a not-necessarily-plausible thought I tossed out there, hoping for discussion.
If a large group of US nationals were mirroring Wikileaks content, and happened to be using OpenBSD for their infrastructure, it might be an interesting "warning".
