And while you're about it, include details of other companies selling distributions of FreeBSD. I've certainly not had any commandments from WC, or anyone else involved in the project to 'censor' the details about other distributions -- as with a lot of things on FreeBSD, something's not there because no one's felt the need to do it, not because of any maliciousness on anyone's part. Diffs to the raw SGML will get committed faster than plain text, just because it's less work for me to do.
