OpenBSD trollers should stop wasting everybody's time on the mailing
lists of other projects.  Now.  Not later.  Now.  Or explain why not...

I think we've rehashed this issue more than enough.  Whining that
you didn't see an answer that satisfied *you* doesn't really count
as a worthwhile use of everyone's bandwidth.  The fact that OpenBSD's
principals have managed to antagonize Yet Another open-source
project should be news to nobody; neither should the fact that
their abusive, disruptive behaviour towards anyone who refuses to
sing their favorite tune (in this case, refusing to change the
license on an *unreleased, non-public, beta* version of ipf) has
greatly inconvenienced them.  You will note that NetBSD does *not*
distribute such a version of ipf, because we are polite and take
the trouble to coordinate with ipf's author.
