What do people think about either using something like openspf.info

What do people think about skipping the openspf domain names and going
with the second place finisher, spf-classic.org?


I think that 'spf-classic.org' is a much better name for the
SPF-Classic specification, as opposed to openspf.org/info/com/net.

De facto, 'Open-' is reserved for the OpenBSD projects. :-) Seriously,
they have OpenBSD, OpenSSH, OpenBGPD, OpenNTPD and OpenCVS is about to
come.

The very fact that you would have to state "open-" is associated with
BSD projects shows that not too many people know it.  Indeed people
probably know linux better then openbsd.

Let's leave it up to them to do the 'Open'-branded things, they
have most likely been the first ones to do it. ;-)

It's a free world, especially in "open" society.

Or should we let Microsoft be the only provider of desktop OS's, since
they were the first?

Hummm....
Maybe my calendar is broken!
I think I was using an Apple before the PC came to be!
Before that, on an Altar with CPM, I think.

Why create more confusion if you could avoid one? Don't you think that
the fact that you cannot get hold of openspf.org might be a sign from
God that you should not use the openspf name? ;-)

I think you hold openbsd in too high regard, and possibly other things
too.



P.S. I did participate in the voting, and voted for the spf-classic
domains.

You opinion counts, although your logic is flawed.
