Actualy I was thinking more along the lines of making them
(the vendors) aware that some of their sales/downloads were
being used on FreeBSD.  Something like giving the person
installing a port an opportunity to send a message to the
vendor saying that they were trying the Linux version under
FreeBSD's emulation.  Or maybe even a web page that allowed
the user to register the fact they are using (or intend to)
a Linux binary under emulation and then forward this info
to the vendor at regular intervals.
