While I wasn't completely clear as to what I meant, I don't understand your
argument.  I meant to say that any selection between plans should be based
on the direct benefit to NetBSD (cash wise) rather than *BSD in general.
That is merely from a funding standpoint.  As for PR, etc I don't know
that it matters.

I wouldn't want any of my hard-earned cash going to BSDI/FreeBSD/OpenBSD
if I had signed up for a "NetBSD sponsored" credit card.

How many people would be willing to sign up for a credit card where
50% went to NetBSD and 50% to Micro$oft? (or any to M$ for that matter)

Sure, NetBSD would benefit, but at what cost? :-)

Please explain how FreeBSD is "to a large degree" keeping NetBSD alive?
Is this some sort of private information that the "unwashed masses" of
NetBSD users doesn't have access to, or is this smoke?
