Correct.

I have no idea either, perhaps because John Fieber had originally
copyrighted the handbook this way (not at my urging) Wolfram saw this
as a statement of general intent or something.  AFAIK, the handbook
and web pages have been changed to "(C) The FreeBSD Project" which
doesn't actually mean anything per-se and is probably why FreeBSD,
Inc.  was chosen before - it seemed just a little more tangible.

But it's no skin off my nose either way, that's for sure.
