FreeBSD has no copyright yet? If it is worth protecting, it should be protected, even if it requires a solicitation for the needed funds (I tend to think that a simple copyright is not that expensive). Perhaps the poweres that be could request that purchasers of FreeBSD add a dollar to support ongoing efforts, to include image protection?
