in 2006, the openbsd project experienced financial difficulties. the mozilla foundation and godaddy are among the organizations that helped openbsd to survive. however, de raadt expressed concern about the asymmetry of funding: "i think that contributions should have come first from the vendors, secondly from the corporate users, and thirdly from individual users. but the response has been almost entirely the opposite, with almost a 15-to-1 dollar ratio in favor of the little people. thanks a lot, little people!"
