Daniel, if I'm running a big company and I pay a developer a chunk of
change for a distributed FreeBSD server manager program, or some such
thing like that, I am not going to pay them if they are going to take
the money and run out and work on their own projects.

Your wrong.  There's lots of code and features that are in FreeBSD
right now today that came from companies that used and enhanced
FreeBSD.
