FreeBSD is OK with the license, so AFAIK, it is just OpenBSD.
We did listen, but we have specific goals that after a great deal of discussion are best addressed with the approach of the Apache 2 license. The objection was to those goals in many ways, not to the particular mechanisms.
And we really did listen to the concerns about the goals (specifically providing strong protection against patent issues) but there was strong consensus in the community that this was a real problem we wanted to address, and so we moved forward.
I am truly sad that this will cause issues w/ the OpenBSD community, but we had consensus and needed to make progress.
I think I know what you mean when you say "consensus" here, but that's not what "consensus" really means. Perhaps you want a word more like "majority".
