Kevin - if Damian's first or primary language is not English, I think the confusion is with the word "run". If I say I run FreeBSD, I could mean "I have computers that run the FreeBSD OS." I could also mean "I run the FreeBSD Project." The word "run" is ambiguous for a non-native speaker in the context, "We run FreeBSD" kmw
