We sold merchandise from several companies at the LWE booth. I have no
trouble with my guys selling anyone's CDs or having anyone's brochures
out if it is a NetBSD booth.
At LWE we had a number of non-Wasabi people as well as Wasabi people
running the booth. I don't expect that folks like Thor or Andrew were
shilling for us, since they wouldn't have had any cause to.
If it is a Wasabi booth, that's different -- and we may have such
booths in the future. I was merely offering to run NetBSD booths, and
we fully understand that if it is a NetBSD booth it has to be run
neutrally and not as a booth for our company.
If people don't want us to do this, though, I'm certainly not going to
force it on on the project.
