Well, perhaps a bit more than a simple stereotype, one enforced by clueless marketing people at Xilinx, Modelsim, Cadence, WindRiver and nearly all the EDA vendors. A first step toward overcoming this situation would be having a FreeBSD native version of FlexLM. There exists one for Linux but without FlexLM there is absolutely *no* hope of ever getting native versions. Second step? Get Bristol or one of the other Win32 -> Unix portability companies to support FreeBSD.
