Debian with the FreeBSD kernel was the subject of a heated week-long
discussion. It seems that since this idea was first [12]conceived in
February, a few people have been working on the port. The status of
their work can be read about [13]here. Basically, they are using the
FreeBSD kernel and libc, and recompiling Debian packages to work on
that system. Reactions varied. John Goerzen [14]worries that a version
of Debian based on a BSD copyrighted kernel would open the door to
third parties taking our work and making it proprietary, and also that
"we are essentially giving first aid to software that is dying (and
rightfully so) because of its license". Many others disagree with him
and have no problems with the BSD license. Others [15]wonder if it

that kernel and library combination.
