I'm surprised to hear this coming from you, actually. I disagree
strongly that discouraging commercial vendors from being able to
integrate "stock" parts of freebsd into their product is "not our
problem." One of the drawing cards for freebsd is that commercial
vendors _can_ take our code and use it in any manner they see fit. The
list of exceptions is long enough already, I haven't seen a compelling
reason to make it longer.
