In our original discussion, the products were sorted by "Native FreeBSD" vs. "Emulated", rather than price tags. A native port of Gnome would get "higher" billing than a Linux version of DB2, as it should. ;^) A relatively good example of how to do something like this is BeWare. Check out http://www.be.com and click on the BeWare link. We could offer the commercial firms additional incentives through FreeBSD Mall, giving them targeted exposure to interested buyers. -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
