Oh, okay.

Yes.  However, I think that, if a credit card is going to effectively advocate
NetBSD, it's going to have to do it by compromising a bit and working with
the other *BSD's.

Fair enough.  It might be worth seeing how strongly people feel about this;
if it's a big issue for a lot of people, then maybe a NetBSD-only card is
the way to go.

Do note that, the way these work, the cardholder doesn't "donate" any money;
it's just part of the small percentage of the price the merchant doesn't
get.
