  MicroBSD - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original development of MicroBSD produced conflicts with the developers of OpenBSD, especially regarding copyright statements and attribution, and how the fork was handled.
For example, an e-mail message sent to the installer after a successful installation, claimed to come from "Theo de Raadt, founder of the MicroBSD project", although Theo de Raadt is the founder of the OpenBSD project; evidently a simple search and replace was made, leading to such false attributions.
Similarly the documentation claimed that the MicroBSD project members were the developers of OpenSSH, also developed by the OpenBSD project.

MicroBSD will also attempt to determine the correct configuration for these devices, which includes information about IRQ and IO port usage.
The MicroBSD installation routine will prompt you several times before writing any data to your disk, but once that process has started it cannot be undone.
However, if you need MicroBSD to co-exist with other operating systems then you need to have a rough understanding of how data is laid out on the disk, and how this affects you.

Given the OpenBSD roots of MicroBSD, one can reasonably expect this file to be somewhat similar to the same file in OpenBSD (/usr/src/etc/root/root.mail), which greets the user and provides some information and tips on how to get the system set up quickly.
With the installation procedure, the contents of this file are the first impression someone will have from the system.
The more I look at the MicroBSD fiasco, the more I think the net effect of this splinter is to seriously hit *BSD's credibility.

The last company he was at was in fact somewhat notorious for--under his guidance--claiming their rackmount PC running FreeBSD was running a proprietary "FreeBSD-based OS" when the only difference was changing the login message.

There will always be mad people that take stuff line by line, change the rightful name with theirs and then publish looking for honours.
The old MicroBSD project (not to be confused with the new MicroBSD [warning: the logo sucks]) took the OpenBSD codebase, and replaced all the OpenBSD copyrights with MicroBSD, even arriving to violate one of the most liberal opensource licenses [5].
But with the Internet plagiarism is defeated by truth, historical track, community and support.
