My personal feeling on this is that it's a good thing, provided they don't try to mess with the licence of the FreeBSD kernel. Think about it: Linus says FreeBSD is irrelevant, and dying; but there are a noticable group of Linux users (in the Linux heartland), who think that FreeBSD's kernel is better than Linux - why else would they want to use it? That says a lot to me... and used very diplomatically, can be used for many miles of good PR.
