If your chose to base it on OpenBSD and you developed your own layout and ISO image, then it would be different. (The FAQ says that only his CD layout is copyrighted.

Well it would be interesting to have a single CD that would boot a ready to run firewall on several architectures. But I don't think that is really needed. > what do you guys think? freebsd rocks, but sometimes there are other choices > that make more sense.
