This paper will look at some of the differences between the FreeBSD and OpenBSD operating systems.
It is not intended to be solely technical but will also show the different "visions" and design decisions that rule the way things are implemented. It is expected to be a subjective view from two BSD developers and does not pretend to represent these projects in any way.
We don't want it to be a troll talk but rather a casual and friendly exchange while nicely making fun of each other like we would do over a drink. Of course, we shall try and hit where it hurts when that makes sense. Obviously, we both have our personal subjective preferences and we will explain why. Showing some of the weaknesses may encourage people to contribute in some areas.
Most of the topics discussed here could warrant their own paper and talk and as such some may not get the deep analysis they deserve.
This is a totally biased talk from two different perspectives.
I showed some of these to my daughter in middle school and we both found the submissions hilarious! We then had a talk about about trolls and the internet and how we could implement a meme-creator for Minecraft pics.

I think it's a lot like Robin Hood. Piracy is viewed in some ways as "rob from the rich and give to the poor" which people in general can get on board with. However, breaking the GPL would be more like the opposite. Instead, someone is seeking personal gain/fame (aka the "rich") vs the people who volunteered their time ("poor") and that's just not right.
Unless I'm reading this wrong, one takeaway is that the pool of people with RoR experience is so low that anyone with some time to spare can sweet talk their way into a developer position
...or that interviewers are schmucks and will hire just about anybody who took the time to read through a book and hack out a demo app.
I don't know if it would completely "kill" Facebook, but there would be a dramatic drop in usage if Zynga (Farmville,Mafia Wars,etc.) fell off the face of the earth.
