My personal take was that Wind River was interested in BSDi's
embedded BSD technology rather than FreeBSD. FreeBSD merely makes
it more likely that the BSD technology as a whole will continue to
advance.

It wouldn't be to Wind River's advantage to push a free alternative
to its own products. But it can't stop FreeBSD from being suitable
for that purpose.
