The FreeBSD Project releases FreeBSD via FTP.  The official release
date for FreeBSD is thus when the announcement goes out on -announce
and the bits show up on ftp.FreeBSD.org.  Other companies sell FreeBSD
CD's and are not related to the Project.  OS X, on the other hand, is
a commercial product sold by a company.  The official release date for
commercial products is when it is released to customers via stores,
etc.  Even FreeBSD works in that model when you realize that FreeBSD
releases releases to customers when it puts them up on the FTP site.
