Fine; leave out the "From." I'm not passionately attached to any one
format, just so it is clearer that the advisory is about the third-party
software and not about FreeBSD.

Your "assumption" is incorrect.

I am quite busy and wouldn't waste my OWN time -- much less anyone 
else's -- if I didn't think the issue was important. Others have stated
that they think it's important, too.

I think that you should address the issue for the sake of ALL of those
who are concerned about FreeBSD's image, not just for my sake.

A summary dismissal such as the one above is not only bad form but
shows a lack of concern for FreeBSD's reputation. Hopefully, instead
of stomping off, you'll take note of people's concerns and do something
about them.
