People are always free to contact companies and say "hey, did you realize you can get a free plug on the web site and, if you have suitable advertising copy, the commercial/announce mailing lists for FreeBSD?" - I do that all the time. What we don't do, and all I was trying to clarify above, is make unsolicited listings of such companies and write their product/company description ourselves. That is what leads to misunderstandings (to say nothing of incorrect product descriptions) and where we would rather have the company's participation. - Jordan
