when openbsd was created, de raadt decided that the source code should be available for anyone to read. at the time, a small team of developers generally had access to a project's source code. chuck cranor and de raadt concluded this practice was "counter to the open source philosophy" and inconvenient to potential contributors. together, cranor and de raadt set up the first public, anonymous cvs server. de raadt's decision allowed users to "take a more active role", and established the project's commitment to open access.
