Agree! Also, it is not a given that one must include EVERY BIT of FreeBSD in
a product to use the name FreeBSD in its name. After all, one might
want to ship a proper subset (e.g. i386 only) and allow the rest to be 
gotten via the Net (for the sake of efficiency) if the user desires it. 
After all, this is the age of the Internet; hybrid delivery models should
be possible.
