Dear Marc,
I'm glad that you're interested in a license. However, at this time we
still have no plans to support FreeBSD as a host.
Thanks for your interest, and for taking the time to write us.
Regards,
Stephanie

Hi Stephanie ...
After spending some time working with VMWare under FreeBSD (thanks
to the work that Vladimir N. Silyaev did to get things working nicely),
I'm interested in getting a permanent license for it ... has there been
any progress made on getting a full port made to FreeBSD, as well as an
appropriate license (ie. one that doesn't say 'for Linux' in it)?
Thanks ...
