Personally, following the PR and advertising discussions, I'd be willing to pay extra for something if part of the proceeds went back into 'the Project'. Let's see...the OS is free...but then there is Jordan's salary, and there are hardware requirements (ie. spatter), and, hell, having a PR fund available would be *really* cool to help most things forward... And, why not a fund to cover the expenses of smoozing commercial developers into developing reasonably priced software that is native to FreeBSD...?
