so publish the contracts. all of them, with all details, including what 
NDAs had to be agreed to. let's get some sunshine on this process. you 
said there are no agreements with Wasabi. who, then?

why is TNF making business deals on behalf of developers? this is an 
open-source free operating system that exists for itself, not TNF. the 
user community doesn't want to be doing bug reporting and beta testing 
for corporate interests. "Standard business procedure?"  when did NetBSD 
become a business operation?  it used to be a non-profit organization. 
who said we wanted to be the Fedora to TNF's Redhat?

TNF appears to have figured out how to get 400 developers do "third 
party" work for free.
