I also should have included this:

https://wiki.opnsense.org/index.php/OPNsense:So_why_did_we_fork%3F

Seems like a bunch of valid points.  Ethically, I’d say if the company sponsoring this fork did contribute time and money to the pfsense project as they claim, then this is quite fair.

I do wonder why they would go to the trouble of rewriting the front end to not require php running as root yet continue to use php. :)
