Many other companies do this and as a matter of fact, we (meaning FreeBSD) have even found bugs in crummy Linux drivers that have been reported back to Linux and helped those manufacturers better their products. No offense, but once Imagestream stopped selling WANic400's you ceased being an entity of interest to FreeBSD, as you no longer sell any products that run under it.
