I was told the same thing, back when they made the 'linux annoucement'.  I
asked why, and they mentioned the lack of marketshare.  *yawn*   When
I pointed out that FreeBSD have 15% of the total open source marketplace,
asked if they would they blow off TurboLinux in the same way, they didn't
have an answer for that.  

Good to see that they are at least willing to accept patches and the work
of others.  

At one time I DLed the 1st 'tripwire' product.  I determined the only
difference was the copyrite change.    They then sent out a e-mail
implying because I hadn't paid for DL, I was a thief, and I should pay
them.  I did end up getting a reply from a VP stating the e-mail was
marketing material.
