There are a number that do though. I'm involved on a
time-and-interest basis, but, given a choice, anything that rhymes
with GPL is to be avoided (your rantings are noticed JD).
*GPL is better than commercial, but IMHO, FreeBSD should try to avoid
(in licensing terms) becoming like Linux. It's got way too much to
gain from the Yes & Whistles of this world.
