I have made contributions to GNU projects, and supplied large patches
and new files to GPL'd projects, always keeping the GPL license, not for
any reason other than respect for the wishes of the original author.

Earlier this year, I went out of my way to a NetBSD developer to
change the license of a file he wrote (that added NetBSD/OpenBSD
support) from BSD to GPL so it could be included in a GNU project,
because the project leader claimed the BSD license was incompatible
with GNU projects.  The NetBSD developer agreed to the change, but I
still have not seen that file added to the project.

My interest in this matter goes far beyond my interest as an OpenBSD
developer.
