Nice!

There's a growing group of programmers that have become disenchanted with the direction software has taken. They are criticizing the ever growing code bloat and want to return to elegant simplicity. Carmack's comments about his retreat using OpenBSD made me think he could be one of these people.

Not only did he donate money, he also seems to be discussing OpenBSD code on tech@ now.
