Yes, I have; again, my argument is that not allowing FreeBSD to be called "Open Source", to carry the "brand", etc, is all I'm objecting to. But you said in a previous note that when you start up the branding program you'll consider a page on these types of projects, so I'm satisfied. Though I still think the pages could use clarification, as I stated previously.
