I think that is a rather disingenuous viewpoint — Microsoft have donated significant amounts of money to the OpenBSD project in recognition of the fact that they are now using OpenBSD software in Windows 10 and those bugs won't fix themselves.

I think Microsoft should be applauded for donating, there are _many_ commercial entities for which OpenBSD is a critical part of their IT infrastructure who make no contributions at all, sadly.

Here is your link:

MS attained the "Silver" donation standard which equates to $10,000 to $25,000

My only donation to the project has been the purchase of a(n awesome) T-shirt so I am in no position to criticise the Redmond crew
