External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on List of products based on FreeBSD. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.comp.com.pl/pl/oferta/rozwiazania_wlasne/sprzet;1914165649

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Whatsapp entry is dubious

The source https://blog.whatsapp.com/196/1-million-is-so-2011 claims that the Whatsapp service in 2012 was running on a machine running a FreeBSD kernel. That has nothing to do with Whatsapp software being "based on" FreeBSD. A program running on a GNU/Linux machine is not "based on" Linux. Google probably mostly runs on GNU/Linux servers, probably Amazon and FaceBook too - are we going to list Google/Amazaon/FB as being "based on Linux"?

If the intent of this page is a list of services running on FreeBSD then the page would have to be renamed as such. Is the "product" the software or the service? A rename to list of software based on FreeBSD would be less ambiguous.

I'm tagging the Whatsapp entry as "dubious", while waiting for discussion. Boud (talk) 23:36, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm against renaming the page, because most of the references if not all clearly talk about products or derivative work based on the FreeBSD OS.

Hi. The blog post clearly suggest that Whatsapp core infrastructure and business was leveraged by FreeBSD. In the other hand just mentioning Whatsapp can be "doubious" since the post only applies to the core infrastructure, which is not a product by itself. The best option is probably to remove the entry from this page and maybe create a new one titled list of services running on FreeBSD. --Ros975 (talk) 10:52, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
