Wow, while I happen to disagree with most of the stuff I hear from you,
this is actually a good idea! It was actually what I edited out of my
prior post.

It went somewhere along the lines of :

"Theres nothing stopping you from forming a company with a stake in
FreeBSD and publicizing that fact, like Redhat or VA Linux."

Its something I personally am interested in if I had more capital to
invest. So theres nothing stopping someone else from doing it. While I
don;t like the rabid screaming fanatic idea, this one I think has gotten
linux more publicity than anything else, including the rabid , drooling
Linus fans that were next door to Kirk McKusick's BoF on the Thursday of
the USENIX conference.
