This is frankly rediculous.

The question of whether the Project offers commercial support depends
highly on your definition of The FreeBSD Project

The "official" FreeBSD Project membership is comprised of a great many
individuals.  A lot of those individuals work at companies that sell
FreeBSD consultative support.  I think therefore the question of whether
the Project offers support or not is moot.  Yes, it does from an
individual
level.
