I thought bsd is dying…..
On the contrary, BSD use continues to rise
I do not trust Verisign. They tried to establish a monopoly on SSL certificates, and have contracts with the NSA, which may motivate them to try to weaken the security of BSD-based operating systems.

Are these sponsors making financial contributions? If so, why? I thought the point was that Verisign was giving back. This isn’t how I envisioned my donation to the FreeBSD foundation being spent.
