I see your point, but I think responses which are politely worded and courteous (i.e. not "You idiots, linux sucks, you should be porting to freebsd!!!". Religious zealotry WILL scare people off), thank them for their decision to support the free software community (companies supporting linux /do/ help freebsd by association as a fellow open source OS, esp. if they're binary-compatible), etc, and happen to mention that FreeBSD is a potential market they can look into, will have a positive effect.
