Ok, then you need to immediately cease all plans to ever market any product that uses the word FreeBSD in it. No halfway intelligent person would ever grant anyone the right to use their trademark without having full knowledge about what kind of product their name is going to be placed on. You clearly have absolutely no idea how the real world works Brett. This is, of course, the basis for my previous comments that you are not to be taken seriously. What you are advocating for will NEVER happen. Therefore you need to stop filling up everyone's mailboxes with your pointless drivel.
