It got bad enough that OpenBSD dropped his software from _ports_.
That is not too hard. And it was not done for security issues but because of philosophies concerning the position of programms in the filesystem. Mr. de Raadt has his own way to communicate that I personaly believe to be offending making me avoid any discussion with him. Mr. Bernstein, too, is shurely not the easiest communication partner. Everyone could tell that sooner or later DJB software would no longer be part of the OpenBSD ports. No problem.
This is also true for Linux vendors. Relying ons oftware that is not free is a bad idea, for example IBM's open sourc elicense included a revocaiton clause, until that was removed very few large players used postfix.
Now, to be a little on topic, any security problems so far with bind9? I use
I posted a link to the isc page, none so far.
DJBDNS but some customers prefer bind, so is it necessary or wise to install bind 9.1.0 instead of bind 8x?
I would. Bind 9 was a rewrite, there are likely sitll bugs lurking in 8.x.
