And the Daemon is no more FreeBSD than it was NetBSD, or even than it
was OpenBSD before they went to their blowfish logo, which I hate, but
I'm sorry to say is quite a lot better than our new "Orange Flag"

The Daemon was BSD. Plain and simple. People who thought it was only
FreeBSD weren't the type of people who'd notice NetBSD in the first
place anyhow.
