Solaris' port of PF is not out of date. _And_ they are working with upstream to merge their changes so both parties have a) better code, and b) less maintenance burden.

if VMWare Fusion provides the Virtualization features to the guest, then yes. If not, no.

But then again, that is true for all VM-nested software.

I should also point out, that crossing the border to Canada for donations has not been a problem for Duck Duck Go, Core Infrastructure Initiative, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Yandex, genua, HP, etc.

This is so blatantly wrong, I had to create an account.

Yes, it is true The OpenBSD Foundation is not a US 501(c)3 (side note: that is not the only type of US non-profit). That is because instead it is a _Canadian Not-For-Profit-Corporation_, which is a legal non-profit for Canada.

Please, do NOT spread FUD that The OpenBSD Foundation is not a non-profit. It absolutely is.
