I think the principle concern here is that any arrangement "the
project" enters into be transferrable to its user base.  In other
words, it would do no good for the project to get redistribution
rights limited to the project but not to 3rd parties who want to
further redistribute FreeBSD bits.  Perhaps what you've been willing
to offer every 4-6 months takes care of this issue, but I'm sadly
unable to remember any of the text from the last time you did. :)

Perhaps we could revisit this One More Time in a little Keith to Core
pow-wow?  I don't think we're going to settle this in a
multi-hundred-way discussion, but we might in a smaller working group.
