I predicted this long ago.  What did you expect?  Red Hat and other Linux
distributors are not in business out of an altruistic desire to bring
computing to the masses free of charge.  They'll make as much money as they
can, in any way they can, just like any other company (including much-hated
Microsoft).

Another good reason is that FreeBSD works as-is, "out of the box."  You
don't have to add a "distribution" with half the code in it just to get a
complete operating system environment.
