Theo De Raadt always complained that many of the institutions that run and use OpenBSD don't contribute back. Good to see the EU at least acknowledging that its something that they should explore. They probably use it and its features more than they realise.
I suspect there is a strong political motive as well behind being "technologically independent" after the NSA mass surveillance revelations.
I like the sound of an EU BSD fork - hopefully they fund one. We've always been lacking in the Operating Systems dev department over here in Europe. Linux is our main contribution but we can do more.
