I agree, if they're going to put one of our logos on their product, they
should include the installer on the media. If we're "advertising" their
product(s) on the FreeBSD web pages, we certainly don't have much leverage
to force the installer onto their media.
The "Designed for FreeBSD", or "Pure FreeBSD" category already assumes a
FreeBSD install program, of course.
