Suffer includes, but is not limited to, performance degredation and bit-rot. FreeBSD is one of the most widely OEM'ed non-embedded OSs in the world because of the unrestricted licensing options. Companies like Whistle, and to a much lesser extent, Juniper, contribute to the FreeBSD project because we believe in this OS. Making FreeBSD unfriendly to OEM developers would be a pity.
