Yeah, OpenBSD predates “open source” by a few years and some people actually found the name weird at the time because there was such a strong association with “Open” being used to mean things like “controlled by an industry consortium rather than a single company”.
There was a joke in one of the BOFH episodes (Bastard Operator from Hell for those unfamiliar, look it up if you don't know it, it's worth it) that went like this:
"So I tell him, 'you can't port Debian to a car computer, it's not an open system' ha ha ha ha"
That joke was not about the car computer.
A user called me complaining that he needed more space. I deleted half his data.
