} If FreeBSD is so free, then why is Walnut Creek CD-ROM selling it for $40?

The fact that you are able to pay someone to put it on a useful medium
for you doesn't mean it's not free.  You don't have to buy it from
Walnut Creek if you don't like their price; you can buy it from anyone
else who's selling it, or you can get it for yourself for... you guessed it...
free.  You can do this via FTP, by borrowing a friend's FreeBSD CD, or
a number of other approaches.  I'm sorry if you're offended by this
flexibility.
