There is the whole embedded market to consider too.  For
"BSD", Wasabi Systems specializes in NetBSD based solutions.

There are a number of companies that have products based
on FreeBSD or portions of FreeBSD, but I don't remember
offhand if there is an organization offering (commercial)
support for embedded FreeBSD.
