OpenBSD 4.1 has been available on pre-order for a few weeks , it will officially hit the mirrors on the 1st of May.
As has been for quite a few releases a song to accompany the release.
http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#41
Its a pretty anti-linux theme with lyrics like
If you know your brother is a greedy bastard
never give him the password
If he goes penguin on you,
stop - being - his brother.
and the song notes mention
A particularly nasty player in this regard has been the Linux vendors and some Linux developers, who have played along with a American corporate model of requiring NDAs for chip documentation. This has effectively put Linux into the club with Microsoft, but has left all the other operating system communities -- and their developers -- with much less available clout for requesting documentation. In a more fair world, the Linux vendors would work with us, and the device driver support in all free operating systems would be fantastic by now.
anyway give the song a listen

I don't really see it as anti-Linux, I see it as OpenBSD saying how incredibly stupid the organized process to sign NDAs that the Linux kernel developers have been doing, and also the Linux kernel developers' openness and willingness to signing NDAs.
Anyway, I found this song quite funny and also decent in general at the same time. I like the kind of Arabian/Persian background/course music.
