Today we have been able to stop Netgate and although we are glad this chapter can be closed, it does not feel like a victory at all as the time, effort and money could have been spend much better. Their actions have been bad for the open source community as they undermine the very basic principles of open source. Their aim has been to scare off new users and keep our project from Wikipedia, this way depriving others from making their own choice.
