They pay my salary and the saleries of two other folks who do only FreeBSD work. They house our machines (and generally buy us new ones when we need them), they give us network connectivity, they publish our newsletters and they pay our airfare and hotel costs when we go off to evangelize about FreeBSD. They also handle the "matching funds" arrangement for FreeBSD articles published, Sean Eric Fagin being the last one to reap this particular bounty for his Dr. Dobbs article. All these things benefit them as well in their CD sales, of course, but it's certainly true to say that if we were wholly independant, we'd have to scrape together the funding for such things ourselves and it wouldn't be cheap.
