      you need to apply for access with ESF

      The process for that is automatic:

      1. Make an account on pfSense portal
      2. Go to the license agreement page and click to agree to the license
      3. Give it an SSH key

      Then you automagically get access to the pfsense-tools repo - you need to install GitHub somewhere, with your SSH key, and clone the repo.

      As I understand it, it is just about making sure that people know and agree to the license conditions, which includes understanding the trademark/s… and thus what they would need to do if they want to fork the code, rebadge...

      Actually the code itself is freely available to clone, inspect...

      As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

          I am also confused by that - maybe gonzopancho is a puppet whose real name happens to also be Jim Thompson?
          Do puppets have real names?

            Can't find the thread Derelict refers to, but I'm also wondering why gonzopancho switched to guest status recently.

                  He closed his forum account recently, that's just how SMF represents it now.

                    What are differences between pfsense and opensense? How about bugs? Do opensense have the same bugs as pfsense?

                        What is not a bug? Do you want to say that pfsense dont have any bug? I wasnt seen such software before, without any bug. If you say that pfsense dont have any bugs and even dont interested to find out this and you are developer, then this makes pfsense just "unknown and not trustable software"…..All developers are interested about possible bugs to find out, to fix them before someone other user installs software.

                          Mostly yes, plus more as they broke things that worked, and haven't kept up to date on things we've fixed, even just the short list of security fixes. Even when I was kind enough to tell them about a serious file corruption bug that we fixed, they "fixed" it in a way that doesn't actually fix the problem.

                            Of course we are. Derelict isn't a developer, and I think his reply was in jest.

                                  Ok, I believe the same. I was always thinked that never make software that copies other software functionality, make instead new soft. In their website I read that they just know better how to make firewall but still dont put out no any comparison. No any original idea…Ok, I give up testing it.

                                    Hah. For some definition of "great" that you won't find in a dictionary, where great == pathological liars who are in way over their heads.

                                    Ah yes. Indeed there aren't any bugs involved there.

                                      That is wrong. Totally wrong.

                                      You couldnt be more wrong even if you tried.
