Well, it's not as if they'd be losing any revenue. 
They'd be making it more convenient to get the free
version, which means that more people would try it
and upgrade to paid versions. And this would offload 
some of the FTP traffic from their overburdened 
servers.

In other words, it's a win all around: they, users,
AND FreeBSD.org would all benefit. I sure HOPE they'd 
go for that.
