The problem is, anyone can sign a petition, even those that don't, nor=20 will ever, use the software, which is what makes them meaningless :( You really need to get someone on the inside that is using FreeBSD and=20 push from that direction ... unless its a product you can pay for, and=20 then you make the dollars speak for you ...
