First of all, I'm no spokesman for the FreeBSD project, and can therefore not decide if your company should be on the FreeBSD website or not, but will make a suggestion. Take a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/software_bycat.html If you port your software to be used with a real :-) OS (FreeBSD), as opposed to M$ Windows, then you probably can be on that list. As for now, when you only offer your product to run on M$ Windows, I can not think of any good reason why the FreeBSD project people should put a link from their site to the company you represent. Also, if porting the application to FreeBSD, you should be able to quite easily port it to, for an example, Linux, and the market will be even greater for your application. Think of it... Targeting M$ Windows, FreeBSD (and then maybe easily too NetBSD and OpenBSD), Linux, AIX, IRIX, SunOS, MacOS X, that's quite of a market you have there. Just a suggestion, but maybe something the company you represent should think of.
