This site is for FreeBSD, an open-source operating system which your software doesn't support. According to your system requirements page, you only support Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, and XP, and Solaris 2.6, 2.7, 7 and 8. In addition, the databases you support are commercial in nature (Oracle and Microsoft SQLServer), the webservers you support are WebLogic and Tomcat (not the very popular Apache), and your clients are required to run some variant of Windows. Now, far be it from me to criticize such an effective marketing approach, but it looks to me that you're just trying to get some free publicity from us, hoping that we wouldn't look too closely at your product and discover that you don't even support FreeBSD. Very tacky, wouldn't you agree? In any case, I must recommend to the FreeBSD webmaster not to support your request, and I wish you wonderful luck trying to get publicity from the Linux, OpenBSD and NetBSD sites, along with any Nintendo-enthusiast and TRS-80-enthusiast sites on the Web.
